Here's what CNPA membership does for you. Still not a member? Then you can join here Why Membership Matters Membership consists of retired CN employees, surviving spouses and honorary members as well as retirees and their spouses from groups formerly connected with CN (i.e. VIA Rail and Marine Atlantic). Active employees can be admitted as social members without voice or vote. "Bridged" employees are also eligible for membership to the CN Pensioners' Association. Although we advocate on behalf of all CN Pensioners and surviving spouses as volunteers, operating expenses are a reality. If you are not already a contributing member, by becoming one for only $1.00 a month, you can help defray such expenses. Your $1 per month will entitle you to several membership benefits and as information, approximately $0.83 of your $1 per month is returned to your local council of choice for their use.

2026 CNPA Scholarships Winners The CN Pensioners’ Association Scholarship Committee has now completed the 14th year of our scholarship program. The awards in the amount of $1,500 each to children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of “contributing” members of the CNPA have been mailed to the successful applicants. The success of this project will be discussed thoroughly at our Annual Directors' Meeting in November 2026 with the possibility of offering it once again for the 2027-2028 scholastic year. In addition to the 25 CNPA National Council awards, there were several $1,500 bursaries and scholarships awarded by regional/provincial or local councils to eligible candidates: Moncton Council funded 2 additional scholarships for grandchildren and great-grandchildren of sponsors who are contributing members of Moncton Council The former Atlantic Region Council funded 3 Maritime Scholarships. Quebec region funded 2 trades bursaries in honor of Luc Grenier Ontario Provincial Council also awarded a additional scholarship to an applicant sponsored from Ontario Manitoba Provincial Council awarded five Harvey Hosfield bursaries and a trade bursary These regional/local awards are apart from the National awards and are administered and funded by the region or local council. The Scholarship Committee and all the local selection committees (27 volunteers, most with several years participation) would like to take this opportunity to thank CN Pensioners/survivors and their families for their interest and participation in this program. We thank all those applicants who took the time and effort to prepare their professional submissions. In particular, the students all deserve hearty congratulations for all the volunteer work they perform in their communities. This year we received 175 applications. Sadly 36 were rejected for various reasons under the submission rules. Disqualifications were primarily due to no résumé submitted, missing or incomplete marks, the applicant’s parent or grandparent not being a CNPA contributing member, unacceptable or no proof of registration, and new this year, secure documents from the student of educational institution that could not be opened.

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. If you previously accessed the site while as a CN employee, you will need to change your email. Surviving spouses of retirees should contact railroadersinthecommunity@cn.ca for assistance with the login.

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.
