CN Employees’ and Pensioners’ Community Fund
We are proud that the CN Employees’ and Pensioners’ Community Fund has planned and organized fundraising activities and annual campaigns in support of many registered Canadian charities for over 56 years. The Community Fund, run by CN employees and pensioners acting on behalf of their colleagues, gives every dollar donated directly to the designated charities.
One of the largest and most successful funds of its kind in Canada, the Community Fund expanded to the United States in 2022, giving employees in the U.S. opportunities to get involved and help their communities.
The 2025 campaign raised $2.13 million. Over the past 10 years, the Community Fund has raised $19.9 million, supporting over 600 charities focusing on humanitarian aid, child support, health and research, and community well-being.

CN-Canucks Alumni Challenge
The CN-Canucks Alumni Challenge involves a team of CN employees playing a friendly game of hockey against Vancouver Canucks Alumni (formerly between Montreal Canadiens Alumni players and Team CN) to raise money for children’s charities. Since 2002, the event has raised $6.5 million. Last year’s 18th edition raised over $600,000 for Boys and Girls Clubs of South Coast BC, Big Brothers & Big Sister of Prince George, Fitspirit, Chris Hope Foundation and Girls On the Run of Northwest Indiana to name a few.
