CPx Supports Diverse Initiatives
CPx supports diverse initiatives aimed at making the communities where it operates better and more inclusive places.
Through financial donations provided by the company – and through the active engagement of its employees and their families – CPx supports many charitable initiatives. CPx staff coordinate fundraising throughout the year in their workplaces to help support these charitable initiatives.
Other recent and ongoing community support by CPx has been directed to: The Center for Child Development; Right to Play; Little Warriors; the YMCA (whose Surrey, BC facility has a CPx-branded cardio exercise room in recognition of the company’s generosity); food banks and other initiatives to assist the under-privileged; the Canadian Blood Services; the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Society; and Big Brothers.
Efforts to reduce carbon emissions and other environmental impacts are of growing importance throughout the transportation sector, and CPx is responding in various ways.

Training
