CALGARY, AB, Nov. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Canadian Pacific
(TSX: CP) (NYSE: CP) is proud to announce CP's Elevators of the
Year: G3 Pasqua (Canada) and CHS
Northland Grain Hazel (U.S.). CP presents this award annually to
the grain elevators that achieve high volumes from a single loading
point while consistently demonstrating efficient railcar loading
and a strong commitment to safety.
Both elevators are repeat winners of the award. G3 Pasqua won
the 2018-2019 crop year award, and CHS Northland Grain Hazel was
the inaugural U.S. winner for the 2019-2020 crop year. CP also
recognized Cargill Elva
(Manitoba) and Elbow Lake Coop
Grain (Minnesota) as the
runners-up for Elevator of the Year 2020-2021.
"CP is proud to recognize these facilities as Elevators of the
Year for the 2020-2021 crop year," said Joan Hardy, CP Vice-President Sales and
Marketing Grain and Fertilizers. "CP congratulates the teams at G3
Pasqua and CHS Northland Grain Hazel for their demonstrated
commitment to the safe and efficient movement of grain across the
network."
G3 Pasqua, located east of Moose Jaw,
Sask., is a valued stakeholder and an integral player in
bringing innovation to CP's grain supply chain. CP launched its
first 8,500-foot High Efficiency Product (HEP) train, comprised of
147 new, highly efficient hoppers cars, at the Pasqua facility in
December 2018.
"We are very pleased that our G3 Pasqua location has been
recognized as the CP Elevator of the Year for Canada for the
2020-21 crop year," said Don
MacDonald, G3 Vice President Operations. "This is the second
time in three years that G3 Pasqua has achieved this distinction,
and we are very proud of this accomplishment. G3's loop tracks
along with CP's 8,500-foot trains are showing what the investment
by both companies can achieve when functioning together. Through
the dedicated efforts of both teams, we have improved the
efficiency and safety of grain handling in Canada."
CHS Northland Grain at Hazel, Minn. is located in the heart of
U.S. grain territory. Their facility has the capacity to load up to
110-car trains, which are sent to both domestic and international
markets.
"CHS is honored its Hazel elevator and Northland Grain team have
been recognized with this award again this year. We greatly value
the partnership and operational efficiency the Canadian Pacific
railroad provides and are proud of our shared commitment to worker
and community safety in serving and creating value for our
farmer-owners," said Rick Dusek, CHS
executive vice president.
Grain elevators interested in being recognized with this award

eligibility criteria.
