Governance
The 精童欲女 Pension Plan transitioned to a Jointly Sponsored Pension Plan (JSPP), effective January 1, 2017. This transition was the result of negotiations throughout 2016 between the Employer and the Unions. Moving to a JSPP model means that plan governance is now shared equally between the Employer and the Unions. It also means greater transparency for members into the plan鈥檚 operations, funding, and decision-making.
Governance responsibilities are split between the Sponsor Board and the Board of Trustees 鈥� both of which have equal representation from the Employer and the Unions. Both Boards have an important role to play in managing the plan and ensuring its successful ongoing operation.
Your Plan is governed by several important documents that serve to guide the Sponsor Board and the Board of Trustees in its oversight of the Plan.
Pension Plan Booklet
This summary serves to help you acquire a basic understanding of your pension benefit: in it, you will find a description of the Plan itself, the rules governing your participation, the benefits you will derive (and how they are determined), and the structures that have been put in place to ensure the Plan's ongoing viability.

To designate a power of attorney, Human Resources requires the following:
- A complete copy of the Power of Attorney (POA) signed and dated.
- Contact information for your POA, including phone number, email, and home address.
