(TSX: CP) (NYSE: CP) is donating US$50,000 to the American Red Cross to help
with Hurricane Harvey relief efforts and will match all employee
contributions.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the displaced families, first
responders and everyone who has been affected by this disaster,"
said Keith Creel, CP President and
Chief Executive Officer. "While we don't have physical tracks in
the area, we do have a small number of employees in the
Houston area who help serve major
CP customers such as Shell, ExxonMobil, Phillips 66 and USD Group.
The area is also an important nexus for Union Pacific, BNSF Railway
and Kansas City Southern, who are key rail- and supply-chain
partners of ours throughout North
America."
CP encourages other companies, on both sides of the border, to
donate if they can. CP is matching all employee donations to the
