Understanding Pensions and Benefits: An Essential Retirement Workshop from BCRTA
The important decisions that will determine your retirement should not be made at the last minute as you fill out your forms. This seminar will prepare you to confidently make choices that are right for you. All teachers age 50+ should plan to attend one of BCRTA;s Pre-Retirement online (Zoom) workshops.
The workshops are free. You get great planning materials along with answers to questions you have about your retirement.
Please pre-register here for the May 28 workshop.
The agenda includes: Teachers’ Pension Plan, Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security, and voluntary group benefits; information about choosing your group group benefits (dental, extended health and travel); and we show some of the differences between plans and help equip you to select the plan that best suits your needs.
