Named the CP Logistics Park: Vancouver (Project or CPLPV). This purpose-built facility will be capable of meeting the projected growth in Canada s largest trade gateway.

4 The Project will include railway tracks and supporting infrastructure for the delivery of incoming products to transloading facilities and transfer to containers or trucks for shipment overseas or local distribution. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Project is proposed on approximately 41 hectares (ha) (101 acres) of CP-owned land on the south side of the existing VIF, plus areas in the existing CP right-of-way. The Project site extends from Kennedy Road to Harris Road and is accessible from a major highway (Highway 7) via Kennedy Road. Goods handled at the CPLPV will comprise of agricultural products ( , peas, beans, and lentils) grown by canadian farmers to be shipped abroad, as well as automobiles and liquids, such as ethanol and transportation fuels for regional distribution. Goods shipped to the CPLPV will be transferred to containers and moved via rail to marine terminals for export or transferred to trucks for local distribution.

5 The regional context for the Project, and its location, is illustrated in Figure COMPARATIVE SITE EVALUATION In support of planning the proposed Project, CP undertook a comparison of the proposed site and other potential sites against technical, operational, environmental and socio-economic considerations. The evaluation determined that the proposed location was reasonable when compared to other potential options. Expanding at the location of the existing facility (rather than the establishment of a new one) was determined to be an appropriate approach given land use demands in the region. In addition, the evaluation confirmed that use of the proposed site will avoid or minimize numerous impacts to physical infrastructure and socio-economic values which would occur at any of the alternative sites considered.

7 The Terms of Reference (TOR) for the Project EEE (Hemmera 2021) was developed to comply with the applicable requirements outlined in the CTA guidance document for applications ( canadian Transportation Agency 2019) and the requirements of Section 98 of the CTA. The development of the TOR, and conduct of the EEE, have been informed by review and comments from participating Indigenous communities, local governments, agricultural interests, and the public, and will be submitted to the CTA for consideration. The methods supporting the conduct of the EEE align with the CTA s guidance for technical studies and applications for approvals ( canadian Transportation Agency 2019) as well as overarching federal guidance from the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) (Government of Canada 2021). Building on such guidance, the EEE focuses on potential effects on Valued Components (VCs) that are reflective of issues and concerns identified through a consideration of existing environmental and socio-economic conditions, professional judgement, and engagement with public, key stakeholders, and Indigenous groups.

8 ENGAGEMENT The conduct of the EEE, was supported by consultation that provided opportunities for input from residents of regional and local communities including Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge. Consultation to date has included: Round 1, December 2020 to January 2021 Obtaining input on the Project valued components of importance to the community. Round 2, June 2021 Obtaining input on study objectives and potential mitigation approaches. In addition to consultation with the public, through virtual open houses and online opportunities, CP engaged directly with specific residents and property owners to discuss site-specific interests. CP also engaged with the City of Pitt Meadows, Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, agricultural interests, emergency response providers and others with an interest in the Project. Consultation to date has allowed CP to refine elements of the Project in response to issues such as effects to agricultural land, noise and light effects on adjacent residential areas, potential human health effects related to changes in air quality and noise, and concerns related to the storage and conveyancing of fuels.

9 Round 3 of consultation is anticipated for early 2022 and will provide the community with an opportunity to provide input into the EEE DRAFT , which will support CP s application to the CTA. Once the application is submitted, members of the public will continue to have opportunities to provide input through the CTA s review of CP s application, as well as directly to CP. INDIGENOUS GROUPS Per the canadian Transportation Agency s Engagement Guidelines (2021), and to support the planning and conduct of the EEE, CP has been engaging with Indigenous communities since January 2020, including: Early engagement to discuss the Project and respond to feedback and concerns. Sharing information on the Project including information related to the conduct of the EEE. canadian pacific Environmental Effects Evaluation Executive Summaries CP Logistics Park: Vancouver January 2022 4 Seeking to understand potential impacts of the Project on Indigenous communities.

10 Identifying appropriate mitigation measures to address issues and concerns. Providing support to facilitate participation of Indigenous communities. Through engagement on the planning and conduct of the EEE, Indigenous communities have provided comment and input to date on baseline studies and the TOR for the EEE. Prior to CTA application submission, Indigenous communities will also provide input on the DRAFT EEE report. CP is committed to ongoing engagement with Indigenous communities, sharing Project-related materials, and engaging in dialogue on issues including those considered within the EEE. Engagement will continue during future stages of Project planning and delivery including the review of the CTA application and EEE. KEY FINDINGS The following summarizes the key findings for each of the selected VCs considered in the EEE. AIR QUALITY The evaluation of air quality determined that, with recommended mitigation measures in place, ambient concentrations of criteria air contaminants (CACs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during operations are expected to remain below relevant air quality criteria in most locations and residual effects on air quality were determined to be not significant.
