Transportation and Logistics Program Launched
Calgary - Today Rob Richie, Chief Executive Officer of Canadian Pacific Railway, lent his
support to the launch of a leading transportation & logistics program at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology and
University of Calgary. Mr. Richie stressed that consistent growth in the volume of international trade requires efficient,
cost-effective transportation and logistics will make the difference for Canadian businesses competing in world markets.
"Canada is not producing enough graduates with the skills needed to become leaders in transporataion and logistics", Mr.
Richie said. "We need to raise awareness of the opportunities in this field. As we raise awareness, we must also make sure there
are enough positions at post-secondary institutions for young people to learn the skills".
The launch of the program is about addressing these issues.
