Sponsor Spotlight: CPKC
Connecting Communities Across North America
The Inlet Spring Regatta is proud to welcome Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) as a sponsor of our 2026 regatta at Rocky Point Park on April 25.
In many ways, the spirit of dragon boating mirrors the work that CPKC does every day. Just as a dragon boat crew must paddle in rhythm to move forward together, railways connect people, goods, and communities across vast distances. Both rely on coordination, teamwork, and a shared commitment to reaching a destination.
CPKC is the first and only single-line transnational railway linking Canada, the United States and Mexico, creating a seamless rail network across North America. Stretching approximately 20,000 route miles and employing 20,000 railroaders, the network provides unrivaled access to major ports—from Vancouver to Atlantic Canada, the Gulf Coast, and Lázaro Cárdenas, Mexico.
Through innovative and efficient freight transportation services, CPKC is helping transform supply chains while elevating safety, improving service, and advancing sustainability. By connecting markets across the continent, the railway plays an important role in supporting economic growth and strengthening communities.
Community connection is also at the heart of dragon boating. Events like the Inlet Spring Regatta bring together paddlers, volunteers, sponsors, and spectators in a celebration of teamwork, sport, and community spirit along the shores of Burrard Inlet.
Support from organizations like CPKC helps make these events possible. Their sponsorship strengthens not only this growing regatta, but also the network of community organizations and volunteers who bring dragon boating to life each season.
We thank CPKC for supporting dragon boating and the Inlet Spring Regatta.
