Team Rubicon Canada

En avant ! Le don de $200,000 du CN nous met sur la bonne voie pour doubler l'impact de notre campagne MISSION POSSIBLE ! Nous sommes honorés d'annoncer que cette marque emblématique canadienne est désormais Partenaire National Officiel de Team Rubicon Canada. Plus tôt cette année, le CN s'est engagé à verser 10 millions de dollars canadiens sur dix ans pour soutenir les initiatives de secours en cas de catastrophe en Amérique du Nord, soulignant ainsi l'engagement du CN à aider les communautés affectées par les catastrophes naturelles et les impacts du changement climatique. « Nos cheminots ont le privilège incroyable de voyager à travers les vastes paysages de l'Amérique du Nord et d'en découvrir la beauté. Cela signifie également qu'ils ont une perspective unique sur les effets dévastateurs du changement climatique et les défis incroyables auxquels les communautés sont confrontées en raison d'événements météorologiques extrêmes tels que les inondations, les incendies de forêt et les tempêtes. En travaillant ensemble, nous pouvons renforcer la résilience et nous assurer que les gens ont le soutien, les ressources et les matériaux dont ils ont besoin lorsque la catastrophe frappe. » - Olivier Chouc, Vice-président principal et Chef des affaires juridiques du CN L'engagement généreux du CN renforcera la capacité de Team Rubicon Canada à servir les communautés vulnérables en temps de crise. En plus du soutien financier, de nombreux employés et retraités du CN revêtent le Greyshirt et se rendent sur le terrain en tant que bénévoles, donnant de leur temps et de leur force. Nous sommes aussi ravis d'accueillir Olivier Chouc à bord en tant que Greyshirt de Team Rubicon Canada ! Merci, CN, d'aider à rendre notre MISSION POSSIBLE possible. Avec le CN comme partenaire, chaque dollar amassé au cours des deux dernières semaines de notre campagne MISSION POSSIBLE sera doublé jusqu'à concurrence de $200 000.

Full steam ahead! CN's $200,000 donation has put us on track to double the impact of our MISSION POSSIBLE campaign! We’re honoured to announce that this iconic Canadian brand is now an Official National Partner of Team Rubicon Canada. Earlier this year, CN pledged $10 million (CAD) over ten years to support disaster relief initiatives across North America, underscoring CN’s commitment to assisting communities affected by natural disasters and the impacts of climate change. “Our railroaders have an incredible privilege to travel across North America’s vast landscapes and experience its beauty. It also means they have a unique viewpoint on the devastating effects of climate change and the incredible challenges that communities face as a result of extreme weather events such as floods, wildfires and storms. By working together, we can build resilience and make sure that people have the support, resources, and supplies they need when disaster strikes.” - Olivier Chouc, Senior Vice-President and Chief Legal Officer at CN CN’s generous commitment will bolster Team Rubicon Canada’s capacity to serve vulnerable communities in times of crisis. In addition to financial support, many of CN’s employees and retirees are donning Greyshirts and getting onto the ground as volunteers – donating their time and sweat. We’re excited to have Olivier Chouc climbing aboard as a Team Rubicon Canada Greyshirt! Thank you, CN, for helping to make our MISSION POSSIBLE. With CN as a matching partner, every dollar raised during the final two weeks of our MISSION POSSIBLE campaign will be doubled up to $200,000.

Untold Stories of Resilience: Part 1 of 2 - Lytton BC Operation Lookback: Meet Lorna In the summer of 2021, a raging fire tore through Lytton, BC, destroying the entire town, including the Chinese History Museum and its invaluable artifacts. Team Rubicon Canada and the British Columbia Heritage Emergency Response Network (BC HERN) quickly united to recover these precious pieces of history from the ashes. Nestled in British Columbia, this museum holds historical significance as it preserves the heritage of Chinese immigrants who shaped Lytton since the 1800s. Our Greyshirts, alongside BC HERN conservators, meticulously combed through the ruins, rescuing nearly 200 items, from delicate jade figurines to historic railway teapots. These artifacts, now safeguarded, will soon narrate a story of survival and renewal in a new exhibit. Join us as we delve into Lorna's inspiring journey and witness how these treasures survived the blaze to keep history alive. Your support makes a difference for people like Lorna.
