CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY ANNOUNCES SMALL SHAREHOLDER SELLING PROGRAM
CALGARY Canadian Pacific Railway Limited (TSX/NYSE: CP) today announced a small shareholder selling program for registered and beneficial shareholders. The program enables shareholders who own 99 or fewer common shares of CPR as of Nov. 7, 2002, to sell their shares without incurring any brokerage commission. The sale of shares will be executed through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The program, which is voluntary, began on Nov. 7, 2002, and will expire on February 7, 2003, unless extended. It is designed to help eligible shareholders sell their shares in a convenient and inexpensive manner. Registered and beneficial holders of shares held in nominee form are eligible to participate.
The program provides eligible shareholders the opportunity to sell all, but not less than all, of their shares. Participating shareholders will not incur any brokerage commissions should they choose to sell their shares. Information regarding the program and participation documents will be mailed to eligible registered shareholders on Nov. 15, 2002, and will be made available to eligible beneficial shareholders through their stockbroker, custodian bank, or other nominee.

The decision to participate should be based upon the shareholders particular financial circumstances.
