CN (TSX: CNR) (NYSE: CNI) announced a donation of $100,000 to Shock Trauma Air Rescue Service (STARS), a world leader in emergency medical care to the population of Western Canada that lives, travels or works in rural and remote locations.

CN’s donation will contribute to fund STARS’ ongoing operational needs in Saskatchewan. This will provide direct support to communities and stakeholders along CN’s network in Saskatchewan, where many CN employees live and work.

“The service STARS provides often means the difference between life and death for those in urgent need. We, at CN, are proud to support the efforts of this outstanding team. As a former Board member of STARS, I understand the important role this organization plays in the lives of so many communities, including Saskatchewan. I encourage all companies with a presence in Saskatchewan to donate generously to this incredible organization.” Tracy Robinson, President and Chief Executive Officer, CN.

"We can't begin to express our gratitude for this generous gift from CN. With their support, they are riding along with us on every mission. This gift makes it possible for us to be there for the next patient who needs us, possibly even someone you know, work with, or a family member.” Andrea Robertson, President and Chief Executive Officer, STARS.
