The 2014 Grey Cup Festival


Educating the community about rail safety at historic sporting event


As a proud sponsor, CN was once again at the heart of all the action and festivities that brought people together from coast to coast for the 2014 Grey Cup Festival, held in November in Vancouver. Thousands of children and their families passed through the CN Safety Zone, participating in skill challenges such as throwing, kicking and catching drills with professional football players, including Montreal Alouette John Bowman.

CN Police officers and Mike Regimbal, National Director of Operation Lifesaver, also helped educate participants about the hazards surrounding rail property and trains by handing out safety tips and CN safety materials like reflective stickers. CN Police Constable Trevor Smith says, “Engaging the community through sports and big events is a great way for CN to reach people with our safety message and have fun doing it.”

CN remains committed to delivering goods, safely and responsibly, while building safer and stronger communities as an engaged corporate citizen.
