We are now CPKC

As key part of our winter preparations, CP invests in snow and rockslide fences, snow sheds and avalanche research to better detect and protect our network from avalanches.

The CP Holiday Train has raised more than $19 million and collected 4.8 million pounds of food since its inaugural journey in 1999.

CP has been recognized for our commitment to develop and invest in our people and to actively promote diversity and inclusion in our workplace. CP earned the 2021 Gold Military Friendly Top 10 Employer designation, 2021 Alberta Top 70 Employers and 2021 Canada’s Best Diversity Employers awards.

In July 2020, CP commissioned a new WTP in Moose Jaw, Sask., to ensure compliance with current and anticipated future regulatory discharge requirements. The existing WTP received industrial wastewater from CP’s locomotive shop. The expanded facility incorporates improved technologies to treat the industrial wastewater prior to discharge to the Moose Jaw municipal wastewater system.

In response to ongoing social unrest and injustice across the U.S. in 2020, CP donated US$1 million to three U.S. charities to support the people of Minneapolis, home to the headquarters of CP’s U.S. operations. These charities also help support meaningful positive change nationally.

CP has implemented a leading schedule management program called FastPass at all of our intermodal terminals. Supported by a mobile app, FastPass expedites truck traffic through facilities, improving efficiency. This technology has dramatically decreased traffic density, truck wait times and associated engine idling at intermodal terminals across the CP network.

CP is the first railway to analyze wayside detector data trends to develop a predictive model designed to further improve the safety and reliability of our trains. CP received an Outstanding Safety Leadership Award from the Railway Association of Canada for these technologies in 2020.

Our train crews use TO technology to execute fuel-efficient, trip-specific plans and conserve locomotive fuel.

During Rail Safety Week, Operation Lifesaver Canada and Operation Lifesaver, Inc. joined forces with CP, the rail industry, government agencies, police, unions and public organizations and community groups to highlight safe practices around railway property. Rail Safety Week is an opportunity to reinforce CP’s RailSense program, which asks everyone to be situationally aware around railway property.

CP and Cielo Waste Solutions Corp entered into a multi-year feedstock supply agreement to support their renewable fuel refinery currently under development in Dunmore, Alta. Through this arrangement, CP agreed to supply Cielo Waste Solutions’ new green refinery with a minimum of 2.5 million rail ties in five years to produce renewable liquid fuels. This is expected to divert more than 200,000 metric tonnes of landfill waste.

The Aboriginal Friendship Centre of Calgary created a task force to support the delivery of necessary services to Indigenous communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. CP provided funding to support the task force in easing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic experienced by Indigenous communities.
