Engagement

CPLP has been a strong supporter of education over the years and we contribute to regional and provincial colleges, universities, and trade and technical schools. In 2010, CPLP partnered with School District #57 and the College of New Caledonia to sponsor 16 students in the Career Technical Center (CTC) program. This innovative program provides high school students in grade 11 and 12 with an opportunity to pursue their first-year apprenticeship in the trade of their choice, while completing their high school graduation. During their work experience at CPLP the CTC students worked alongside tradesmen, and gained “hands-on” experience of their chosen trade.

We have provided ongoing support to the Charles Jago Northern Sports Center at the University of Northern British Columbia (UN BC). This high-performance sport, recreation and fitness facility, named for the University’s first President, is one of the largest of its kind in British Columbia and home to the province’s longest indoor track. In addition to housing varsity sports and training at an elite level, the facility is open to the community, is home to major tournaments and events, and offers enhanced sport medicine services.

Our employees also take community support personally, and actively participate in programs such as United Way campaigns, Terry Fox runs and many other regional and local charitable initiatives.
