Safety is a core value at CN and the primary focus for all our departments. We all work together to make our organization as safe as possible.
From the CN Police perspective, public safety is a paramount concern. We promote public safety through engagement, education and enforcement. Our goal is to reduce incidents on our network and ultimately save lives.
Operation Lifesaver is a national organization that assists the railways with production of educational materials and resources for public engagement events like the Yorkton Exhibition Harvest Showdown.
The trade show at the 2021 Harvest Showdown was a great opportunity for CN, CN police and Operation Lifesaver to reach the community and provide them with information about railway safety.
Our team that worked at this event came from multiple departments in CN. These included Transportation, Corporate Services, Public Affairs, Health and Safety and Engine Services Office.
Our goal at the onset of the event was to have as many conversations with the public about railway safety as possible.
We engaged with 1100 people from Yorkton and the numerous surrounding communities during the three days. These interactions have opened the door for us to participate in further public education events in the future.
Success!
We would like to thank The Yorkton Exhibition Association for all the effort they put in to make the event possible. We would also like to thank Operation Lifesaver for their continued support in our efforts to reduce incidents and save lives.
