Last month, some of the country’s best and brightest pension and investment professionals turned out to celebrate their peers at The Benefits Canada Awards.
The event was held in downtown Toronto at The Design Exchange, the former home of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
In the plan sponsor category, Karen Welch, the vice-president of global compensation and benefits at Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, took home the prize.
In a unique twist, there were two winners in the plan member communications category. Ruth Tomes, senior communication specialist, at OMERS pension communications shared the prize with the Standard Life Assurance Company of Canada. Anna Del Balso, the company’s director of strategy, research and product development, group savings and retirement, accepted the award on Standard Life’s behalf.
