Municipal Pension Plan


Online Retirement Planning Education

Given the growing concerns about COVID-19 the Municipal Pension Plan has made the difficult decision to cancel all member education workshops until further notice. In place of workshops, online learning is available to help answer your pension and retirement planning questions.

Find answers to your pension questions in the comfort of your own home with online learning.

We have conducted a comprehensive review of the Municipal Pension Plan and have developed a package of proposed changes to update the plan. We have been guided by four principles:

  • improve equity for members,
  • align benefits with how the majority of members use them,
  • set a strong foundation for the long-term sustainability of the plan, and
  • stay within the current cost envelope.
