recognition of facilities that move high volumes from a single
loading point while consistently demonstrating efficient railcar
loading and a strong commitment to safety.

together to help producers in Canada and the U.S. supply the world with
high-quality agricultural products," said Jonathan Wahba, CPKC Senior Vice-President Sales

efficient loading operations with each unit-train loaded at the
site while moving more than 450,000 metric tonnes of grain.
"We appreciate CPKC's recognition of our team's efforts in Elva
who work every day to provide farmers with safe, reliable access to
markets for their grain around the world," said Jeff Vassart, President, Cargill Limited. "Cargill continues to make
significant investments in our grain elevator and canola processing
facilities to serve Canadian farmers, and we are excited to open
our new Canola processing facility in Regina later this year. I'd like to thank our

this award."
