Sustainability Meets Inclusion: Go Green for CP Alberta

At CP Alberta, we believe that creating a better future means caring for both people and the planet. That’s why we’re proud to run the Go Green recycling program—a unique initiative that supports inclusion while reducing waste.

Through Go Green, we collect gently used clothing, small household items, toys, and more, and partner with local Value Village stores to give these items a second life. Every donation helps fund programs that empower children and adults with disabilities across Alberta to live, learn, and thrive.

 A Visit to Our Largest Partner: Calgary Southland

We recently had the chance to visit one of our key Go Green partners—the Calgary Southland Value Village—and were blown away by the scale and impact of this location. Not only is it our local partner, it's also the largest Value Village in all of Canada!

During our visit, we connected with their incredible team, toured the facility, and celebrated our ongoing collaboration. Every donation made to the Southland location directly benefits CP Alberta’s programs and services. It was inspiring to see firsthand how community donations are turned into both environmental good and social impact.

Then, we hosted some of the staff at our office so they could see how their work intertwines with what we do. They even made us some friendship bracelets!
