Each year the Whitby Chamber of Commerce celebrates excellence in their business community. The Peter Perry Business Achievement Award is given to businesses that have made significant contributions to the fabric of the Town of Whitby over a period of five years or more.

Complete Packaging Systems has worked hard to contribute to our society. We believe that companies have an important responsibility to give back to the community. At CPS, we regularly engage in charitable donations and volunteer work for various not-for-profit organizations. Most recently, our company hosted a summer food drive to help Feed the Need in Durham. We joined our efforts with other companies throughout the Durham Region to Dress Down to Feed the Need on Friday’s throughout the month of August 2015. CPS donated a grand total of 157 lbs of non-perishable foods!

Earlier this summer we were also given a special chance to show our support for our community by sending a child to Camp Oochigeas for 1 full week! This camp has unique opportunities for growth through challenging, fun, enriching and magical experiences. Camp Oochigeas is a privately funded, volunteer-based organization that provides kids with and affected by cancer the opportunity to experience camp life. We have a special bond with Camp Oochigeas–last year we were able to actually go and visit the camp to help set them up for camping season. It warms our hearts to know how much hard work and love goes into making a child’s life a little brighter.

It is our dedication as a community member that has strengthened our work environment and we are grateful to have the chance to do our part. It is an honour to be chosen as a finalist for this award and we thank the Whitby Chamber of Commerce for this wonderful opportunity. The awards will be presented to the winning recipients at the annual Peter Perry and Business Achievement Awards gala on Thursday, November 19.

For the 9th year in a row, Complete Packaging revisited the AAR conference held by Damage Prevention & Loading Services Team (DP&LS).

DP&LS conducts testing for railroads, shippers and suppliers in establishing industry accepted loading rules and standards. They are responsible for testing and publishing approved loading methods and materials for closed car shipments moving in boxcars and inter-modal equipment, as well as open top shipments.

This conference is dedicated to further the education of all rail shippers in an effort to reduce damage and freight claims across North America.

During the presentation of “Reaching the Mile High Goal through Communication, Education and Cooperation” Complete Packaging’s very own Darren Burden took some time to help cover some important issues on achieving company goals, along with a handful of other honoured speakers.

 

This presentation looked at how new load plans for 50 and 60 foot rail cars are being developed through communication, and cooperation and are being applied through Training and education.

The panel was a complete success, and we were overwhelmed with gratitude. A special thanks for a glowing testimonial from Chairman of the DP&FC:

… I greatly appreciated the time and effort you put into the annual Conference. You never go through the motions; you’re always “all in” … 110%!  Sincerely, thank you for helping making this Conference a success.  Take care …

Dave A. Hopkins – Director BNSF 

Everyone at Complete Packaging Systems would like to thank Dave Hopkins for his leadership and guidance through this year’s AAR conference. We look forward to next year’s gathering in Montreal hosted by Canadian Pacific Railway.
