Do you know what it means to have a defined benefit (DB) pension plan?
The Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan (HOOPP) is offering a workshop on defined benefit plans — how they work, and how they benefit plan members and all Canadians. The 30-45 minute workshop, for OPSEU members in HOOPP, can be delivered anywhere in the province.
In the workshop, you will learn:
- how your HOOPP pension can help secure your retirement
- why DB plans are the most efficient and effective way to save for retirement
- how DB plans help prevent senior poverty and reduce strain on taxpayers
- how DB plans help support the economy — especially local communities
After attending the workshop, you will:
- understand how your HOOPP pension fits into your retirement planning
- be able to debunk common myths about DB plans
- be able to explain the key benefits of DB plans for all Canadians
- know why it’s important to stay informed and speak up on pension issues
You will also have the opportunity to sign up to join a community of over 4,000 "DB Ambassadors" and stay informed about important pension and retirement issues facing all Canadians.
