Calgary Alberta - Canadian Pacific Railway Limited (CP) announced today the slate of nine nominees standing for election as directors at the CP annual and special meeting scheduled for 27 Apr 2022.
 
The director nominees are:
 
Isabelle Courville
The Hon. John R. Baird, P.C.
Keith Creel (CP President and Chief Executive Officer)
Jill Denham
Edward R. Hamberger
Matthew H. Paull
Jane L. Peverett
Andrea Robertson
Gordon Trafton
 
"With these nominees, the CP Board will have nine exceptional members with a range of professional experience, including knowledge of the railway industry, as we head toward our historic integration of the Kansas City Southern (KCS) into our network, pending approval of the U.S. Surface Transportation Board (STB)," said CP Board Chair Isabelle Courville.
 
"We continue to be a Board that values diversity of experience as well as background, gender, and geography, with our directors coming from Canada and the United States.
 
Provided that the STB gives final approval to our merger with KCS, which we expect to be in the fourth quarter of 2022, we will welcome four current members of the KCS Board who will bring their unique strengths and perspectives to the board of the combined company. We believe that with the addition of those four board members we will have the right combination of skills and experience to move the combined company forward.
 
Current CP Board Director Rebecca MacDonald has advised that she will not stand for re-election at the upcoming annual and special meeting scheduled for 27 Apr 2022.
 
The CP Board of Directors would like to thank Rebecca for her valuable contribution to the CP Board in her 10 years as a director and as chair of the Governance Committee during her tenure.
 
During her time with CP we went from industry laggard to industry leader, with Rebecca playing an important role in the transformation of CP's board and management in 2012.
 
Rebecca's contributions have played a key role in the company's success.
 
As previously announced, Ed Monser will similarly not stand for re-election at the same meeting.
 
The Board thanks Ed for his service and wishes him the very best for the future."
