The United Church of Canada provides a Defined Benefit Pension Plan for all employees who work more than 14 hours a week. Join us for this 90 minute program to learn about how the plan works, what it costs, what it provides, and how to apply for your pension when you’re are ready. In this program we'll describe:

• what a "defined benefit plan" is
• how costs and benefits are determined
• other ways that you might plan for retirement, including personal savings, government benefits, and coordination with other pension or benefits plans you may have access to
• options to consider as you prepare to retire.

Who should Attend:

• all Members of the plan will find this information useful, but we particularly recommend it for
  • people who are new to the plan (ie. those who are recently hired)
  • members or their family members who are in the midst of a significant life change (birth, marriage, divorce, death, job change)
  • people who are planning for retirement
• Members of Ministry & Personnel Committees or congregational Boards/Councils
• Church Treasurers
