CALGARY,
AB, Nov. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Canadian
Pacific (TSX: CP) (NYSE: CP) is proud to announce its winners for
Elevator of the Year for the 2021-2022 crop year: Paterson
Flagstaff (Outbound Grain - Canada), G3 Carmangay (Inbound Grain - Canada), and Elbow Lake Co-op Grain (U.S.). CP
presents this award annually to grain elevators that achieve high
volumes from a single loading point while consistently
demonstrating efficient railcar loading and a strong commitment to
safety. CP issued a special recognition to G3 Carmangay this year for handling significant
amounts of inbound corn to feed livestock. CP also recognizes
Parrish & Heimbecker Weyburn (Canada) and Wheaton Dumont Co-op
Elevator Tenney (U.S.) as the runners-up for Elevator of the
Year 2021-2022.
"These elevators are leaders in their field and are helping
farmers in Canada and the U.S.
supply the world with high-quality products," said Joan Hardy, CP Vice-President Sales and
Marketing Grain and Fertilizers. "CP is proud to recognize the
people that operate these elevators for their dedication and
perseverance during challenging conditions. They helped to find
innovative solutions when the Western Canadian grain crop was the
smallest in over a decade due to severe drought throughout the
prairies."
Paterson Flagstaff in Daysland,
Alta., is a valued customer and first-time winner of the CP
Elevator of the Year award. Paterson Flagstaff is a leading
8,500-foot High Efficiency Product (HEP) train-capable facility
that has shown efficient and safe practices with each unit-train
loaded at the site. The Flagstaff elevator moved an impressive
amount of grain during the 2021-2022 crop year.
"We are very honoured to be recognized by CP with their Elevator
of the Year award," said Shane
Paterson, Paterson GlobalFoods Inc. Director of Trading and
Transportation. "Paterson and CP have a relationship dating back
over a century. Our collective success has been built on a
foundation of strong communication and the shared objectives of
growth and efficiency. This achievement would not have been
possible without the strong service that CP provided throughout the
crop year, our dedicated staff and the excellent producers in
the region whom we would like to recognize and thank for their
business."
G3 Carmangay in Carmangay, Alta., features an 8,500-foot
HEP-train-capable loop track that opened in 2020, and in the last
crop year was able to become an important source of meeting surging
demand for cattle feed in Western
Canada.
"We are proud that our G3 Carmangay,
Alta., grain elevator is the recipient of this year's CP
Elevator of the Year (Inbound Grain - Canada) award," said Don Chapman, G3 CEO. "G3's high-efficiency loop
track facilities have set new standards for fast and safe train
loading to keep grain moving to market. Together with our partner,
CP, we also set a high bar this year for efficient unloading of
grain shipped by rail into our facility. Livestock producers
counted on us to supply animal feed during a difficult year, and we
delivered."
Elbow Lake Co-op Grain, located
in Elbow Lake, Minn., also helped
sustain Western Canadian cattle during the 2021-2022 drought by
shipping almost 200,000 metric tonnes of corn to Canada as a portion of their strong shipping
program. Elbow Lake Co-op Grain is
a first-time winner of CP's Elevator of the year award.
"A lot of things need to come together to achieve these high
levels of grain volumes," said Kevin
Stein, Elbow Lake Co-Op Grain General Manager. "Our amazing
staff puts all this grain through our elevators. We're in an
excellent corn and soybean production area with farmers who support
our business very well and CP has done a good job moving railcars
to keep the grain moving."
Grain elevators interested in this award should contact their CP
account manager for information on the eligibility criteria.
