Canadian Pacific (CP) has been named the Jump Canada Sponsor of the Year for 2014 in recognition of the railroad’s renewed commitment to the sport of show jumping in Canada.

In 2014 CP took the reins at Spruce Meadows in Calgary, securing title sponsorship of both the Grand Prix at the ‘Continental’ and the $1.5 million CP International, which is part of the prestigious CSIO5* Masters tournament for a period of three years. The $1.5 million CP International in September presented the largest prize money ever offered for a single-day event in show jumping history — making it the richest event of its kind in the world.

“CP’s success is allowing us to have a stronger presence in the communities in which we operate,” said E. Hunter Harrison, CEO of CP. “I’m honoured that Jump Canada has recognized our railroad’s sponsorship of this masterful sport and proud that this partnership has allowed us to give back in a meaningful way.”
