Our speaker was Lori Yorke from Snowbird Mediquote talking about the importance of travel insurance both for international travel and travel within Canada. Many good questions came from the floor.

We have recently heard (through the Edmonton Council of CN Pensioners) of a problem encountered by a pensioner when contacting Johnson Insurance for a quote. The Pensioner was mistakenly told that Johnson is no longer offering a discount to CN Pensioners. We have been advised by Johnson Insurance that this is a mistake. Johnson is still offering a discount to CN Pensioners. It is a glitch in their system and they are working at correcting it. They apologize for any inconvenience.
Great news! CN has recently expanded the Volunteer Grant Program which includes CN Retirees and their families.
- $250 for Youth Amateur Sports In addition just recently introduced, is a new "Refer a CN Friend" incentive to increase the grant money your charity normally receives by just referring an eligible first-time grant recipient to the program between May 25th, 2015 and November 30th, 2015. Their charity will get a CN grant and yours will receive an additional grant equal to the amount it originally qualified for. There are no limits to the number of people you can refer, which meanss no limits to the grants you can accumulate for your charity!
