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 57 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 2026 campaign was another incredible success! Over the past 10 years, the Community Fund has raised more than $20 million, supporting over 700 charities focusing on humanitarian aid, child support, health and research, and community well-being.

CN-Canadiens Alumni Challenge
The CN-Canucks Alumni Challenge involves a team of CN employees playing a friendly game of hockey against Montreal Canadiens Alumni players to raise money for children’s charities. Since 2002, the event has raised over $7 million. Last year’s 19th edition raised over $600,000 for many local, national and international charities.
