Eligible members of the Victoria University General Pension Plan, along with Trent University’s Contributory Pension Plan for Employees represented by OPSEU Local 365 and the Trent University Staff Plan are joining the University Pension Plan, effective this month.
“We are thrilled to welcome eligible members of the Trent Staff and Victoria University plans as UPP’s newest members,” said Barbara Zvan, the UPP’s president and chief executive officer, in a press release. “We’re deeply grateful for the collective efforts of our partners at Trent and Victoria, alongside UPP’s staff and joint sponsors — including member and employer representatives — to bring new eligible employees into the UPP community. We look forward to supporting our new members as we deliver on our vision of providing secure, lifelong retirement income for the university sector.”
Plan members of the Trent staff pension plan will now join their colleagues from the Trent Faculty Plan, who joined the UPP in 2022, as well as Trent University support workers represented by OPSEU who joined in 2023.
