Pension and Retirement Planning Workshops


Are you planning on retiring this year, or maybe even a couple of years down the road? Make sure that your financial and personal future is secure as it can be when taking the step out of the classroom for good.

On Thursday, February 12th the annual OTPP Workshop will be provided by our provincial Pension Officer, Ruth Kirkham. This workshop deals strictly with the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan and gives advice on how to calculate future income to determine whether you will be able to live the lifestyle you want in your retirement.

Tuesday, February 24th is a Financial Planning workshop for soon-to-be retirees that will focus on benefits packages and costs along with investment strategies. Representatives from OTIP and the Teachers’ Credit Union will be on hand to present and answer questions.

Both workshops begin at 4pm at the District office which is located at 1423 Upper Ottawa Street, Unit 2. Registration for both workshops begins on Thursday, January 22nd. Call Joanne Stirling at the District Office and specify which workshop you wish to attend.

Both workshops will include a light supper. Be responsible if registering other people as these are very popular workshops and no-shows prevent other from attending.

Please call if you find that you will be unable to attend.
