This workshop provides OSSTF members financial planning information for retirement such as
-
retirement income streams (CPP, OAS, etc.),
-
health and dental coverage,
-
wellness supports,
-
travel insurance (including emergency medical coverage when out-of-province).
​
This in-person workshop is open to all District 18 OSSTF members, and it is organized by the Ontario Teachers' Insurance Plan and Educators' Financial Group. Please note that this workshop is distinct from the pension workshop that OSSTF offers in the fall as it will not cover the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan. The EFG presenter, however, is knowledgeable of the OTPP, and she can answer pension questions related to finances.
