Who We Are
The CN Pensioners Association of Manitoba has approximately 3600 members comprised of Canadian National Railways pensioners or their surviving spouses. Our members came from many different departments of the railway...offices, shops, yards, running trades...but all have a common bond of friendship and camaraderie. By joining together, we have the power, knowledge and ability to promote benefits for our members and to ensure their pensions keep pace with the changing economy.

Mission Statement
"...the purpose of forming a group to promote, maintain, and foster social and fraternal relations; to keep alive the traditions of the Canadian National Railways, and to preserve the loyalty and brotherhood of its employees." (Canadian National Railways Veterans Association – October 1930).

In keeping with these ideals of the Canadian National Railways Veterans Association...

The CN Pensioners Association of Manitoba shall actively promote and protect the interests and concerns – social, legal, fraternal and economic – of all CN Pensioners and surviving spouses by acting as a liaison with the National Council of CN Pensioners Association to dialogue, propose and recommend with Canadian National Railways. They shall keep members informed of important activities and services, which may affect them financially or socially, as well as ensuring a better quality of life.

 The Executive of the CN Pensioners Association of Manitoba is comprised of CN Pensioners who volunteer their time to serve this association.  Those who serve the association have found this to be a most rewarding experience as they continue to bond with former work colleagues and friends.

The Executive is always looking for new members to consider joining the committee, bringing fresh ideas and ways to serve our membership.  If you are interested, please contact anyone of the Executive to discuss how you might help out.
