27 Giugno 2018 - 1:00AM
CN (TSX:CNR) (NYSE:CNI) today announced the creation of the
company’s first Community Board to guide CN’s Stronger Communities
Fund decisions and strengthen community partnerships in Edmonton.
“CN is committed to making the communities we
operate through better and safer places to live, work and play,”
said Sean Finn, executive vice president of corporate services and
chief legal officer at CN. “We are proud to partner with local
organizations across our network. Through the CN Community Boards
we will be putting funding decisions in the hands of local
community and business leaders who know their communities
best.”
The Edmonton committee is the first of a series
of Community Boards CN will establish as it prepares to celebrate
its 100th Anniversary in 2019. A key focus of the community boards
will be supporting local, grassroots organizations with smaller
grant funding requests.
CN has a proud history of providing millions of
dollars in support to non-profit organizations, causes and
initiatives in communities across its network. In 2017, CN donated
nearly $700,000 to organizations in Alberta.
“I am honoured to have been chosen to join CN’s
first Community Board and am excited about the opportunity to help
CN make a positive impact on Edmonton communities,” said Doug Goss,
general counsel and corporate secretary for Premium Brands Holding
Company in Edmonton. Goss will serve as chair of the CN Community
Board in Edmonton.
During a ceremony marking the creation of the
Edmonton Community Board, CN also announced its partnership with
the Edmonton Eskimos as the title sponsor of the 2018 Grey Cup
Festival Parade to be hosted by the team in Edmonton.
