HELPING OUR COMMUNITIES THRIVE
As a railroad company, we connect places, drive economic growth, and revitalize the
communities in which operate. We seek to expand connections throughout North America
and build a more diverse and skilled workforce to serve our communities.
Creating local jobs. G&W operates high-quality
infrastructure, taking careful consideration for the
communities around our operations. We want
to have a positive impact on our communities,
so we create quality jobs to strengthen the local
economy, and ensure our investments translate
into greater prosperity and social wellbeing.
Supporting veterans. We also take pride in
supporting our country's veterans. We partner
with American Corporate Partners to provide
mentorship and career guidance to military
veterans looking to transition back into civilian
life. G&W also actively recruits veterans or
transitioning military personnel, as we believe they
possess competencies, work experience, and
skills that are highly transferable to rail operations.
Native American and First Nations
communities. Some of our railroads in North
America traverse across Native American and
First Nations land. G&W is committed to fostering
collaboration and creating an open dialogue with
our neighboring landowners.

In 2020 and 2021, G&W railroads have:
·

City on our Western Labrador Rail Services Inc.
railway
Collaborated with the First Nations in water
and flood management on our Huron Central

Providing scholarships. G&W is also dedicated
to community education. We provide funding to
make education goals more attainable. We award
roughly 20 scholarships to the children of subsidiary
employees who are pursuing higher education. Once
they graduate, they are welcome to join our recruiting
program. Through our scholarship program, we
have helped more than 225 children access higher
education and provided more than $2 million in
scholarships.
Generating economic impact. By way of our
operations, we contribute economic growth in
the communities where we work. By creating
and sustaining local jobs, paying state and local
taxes, and investing in rail infrastructure, we
are an important economic driver throughout
North America.
Our 2020 Economic Impact:
U.S. State and Local Taxes - (USD) $34.8 million
Canadian Provincial Taxes - (USD) $8.9 million
In 2021, G&W developed a comprehensive
176-page guide detailing all points of
commonality between G&W's U.S.
railroads and 41 Native American
tribes to assist in building
collaborative relationships.
