CN Railroaders in the Community Thanks for 2025 Efforts & Changes for 2026 Hello Railroaders, Thank you once again for those who participated in the Railroaders in the Community program. Many of you have shown your commitment and generosity by volunteering your time and skills to non-profit organizations which matter to you. Here are some of the amazing results that our retirees have accomplished through the program in 2025. A total of 468 volunteers submitted hours into the program Those 468 volunteers raised more than $1M for their favourite charities - a total of $1,012,427 The $1M+ total for 2025 was an incredible 83% higher than what the program raised just 3 years ago. Thanks in part to you, the Railroaders in the Community program was once again successful in 2025. To maintain the program’s sustainability while continuing to recognize and reward your contributions, the following adjustments will be made to the program starting in 2026 : The maximum volunteer reward hours per eligible participant will be 100 hours per year . CN will now cover the 2.9% Benevity service charge, ensuring that your chosen organizations receive the full amount earned through your volunteer hours Incentive bonuses now awarded based upon winners of a draw from the pool of all CNPA volunteers The reward rate remains at $15 per hour volunteered If you have any questions, please contact RailroadersintheCommunity@cn.ca . CN is proud of the hundreds of employees, their families, and retirees who give generously of their time to local causes through our CN Railroaders in the Community (RRITC) program . These volunteers are part of the social fabric of the many cities, towns and villages across our entire North American network, helping to make their communities better places to live and work. CN supports their efforts by providing charitable donations to the organizations where CN railroaders volunteer. Each hour of volunteer work earns a $15 reward, up to a maximum of 100 hours or $1500 per retiree per year (including volunteer hours completed by their spouse/surviving spouse). There is no limit to the number of organizations a CN retiree and the spouses/surviving spouses of CN retirees can volunteer with. We are also happy to confirm that if you have already started volunteering in your community this year, any volunteer hours accumulated since January 1 for a recognized charity will qualify for a reward in the same calendar year. Please note that reward funds are always disbursed at the end of the month following approval. For example, if your hours were approved on March 6, the funds will be disbursed on April 30. If your organization is set up to receive cheques, please allow 3 to 4 weeks for delivery. If they are set up for EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer), the funds will arrive immediately once disbursed. The funds are not issued directly by CN but by the Benevity Online Giving Foundation. Thanks to CN's digital platform SPARK , you can easily track your volunteer hours and see when the donation to your charity was made. Rewards are transferred electronically to the eligible organizations on a monthly basis. Check out the exciting new features of the Railroaders in the Community program at SPARK SPARK User Guide CN Railroaders in the Community FAQ To login for the first time: Username: your CN PIN number. Password: the first three letters of your last name + your CN PIN+ ! Example: The password for Jane Smith (PIN 168750) would be: smi168750! Once logged in for the first time, you must change your email address to a personal email and you will be asked to change your password.

Surviving spouses of retirees should contact railroadersinthecommunity@cn.ca for assistance with the login.

Please be sure to include your full name as it appears on your CN Pension Statement as well as your CN PIN number. If it is just a password issue, they can assist you by creating a new password for you. However, if it turns out to be a technical issue, they will be unable to assist you until the issue has been resolved between CN and Benevity. Until then, CN advises those retirees to keep track of their volunteer hours so that they can be entered into the system once CN notifies your access to the system has been fixed. How does the incentive bonus for CNPA members work? If you volunteered with a registered not-for-profit organization between January 1 and December 31, 2026, and you log your hours in the RRITC portal by 5:00pm EST on December 31, you’ll automatically be entered into a special raffle draw. Ten CNPA members (2 per region) will each win a $2,000 charitable gift for the organization where they volunteered — a fantastic way to support the causes you care about! Draw Date: January 2027. Winners will be contacted directly and announced on the CNPA website. 2026 RRITC Incentive Draw Winners (Region, Name, Location) Atlantic Gloria J.
