CP's donation will include $250,000 to the American Red Cross, $250,000 to the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City, and $250,000 to New Jersey Governor Christie's Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund.
"On behalf of the men and women of Canadian Pacific, we hope our railroad's contribution will help in the rebuilding effort that continues in the aftermath of this horrific storm," said CP President and CEO E. Hunter Harrison."We sincerely hope all those affected will be able to return to their normal lives as soon as possible."
Canadian Pacific also is encouraging Americans who attend free Holiday Train events across CP's U.S. rail network between November 28th and December 16th to give generously to their local food shelves. At each event, corporate and community donations made to each local food bank will be matched by CP.
