Once again, we will be hosting a Retirement Workshop at the OECTA Office. This workshop presents information on the Teachers' Pension Plan, personal planning, and financial planning. This is an in-depth workshop in which members are given a workbook and worksheets to examine at their leisure. This workshop also offers a more in-depth look at teachers' pensions.
The workshop is intended for teachers in their last five years of teaching. Spouses are welcome and encouraged to attend.. However, the workshop is not intended to be a one on one session about a member's specific financial and pension needs.
This full day workshop will be delivered by staff from the Counselling and Member Services (CMS) department at the OECTA Provincial Office.

Mental Health: The importance of early recognition and treatment |
|
|
|
|
Mental health issues affect all workplaces, regardless of industry. Employees in diverse roles face increased demands to solve problems, interact with others, analyze data and negotiate positive outcomes. According to the Mental Health Commission of Canada, on any given week, more than 500,000 Canadians1 will not go to work because of mental illness. In fact, over 40% of OTIP’s long term disability (LTD) claims are attributed to mental/nervous disorders.
