As a member of BC's Municipal Pension Plan, you are eligible for a lifetime monthly pension when you retire. If you are new to the pension plan, returning from parental leave, changing jobs or preparing to retire, you may have questions about what this means for your future.

There are a few upcoming free learning opportunities for you to get answers to your pension questions, including the online Getting to Know Your Pension as well as the workshops Making the Most of Your Pension and Approaching Retirement.

New and potential members
Getting to Know Your Pension is a 15-minute online learning that will introduce you to the value and benefits of plan membership.
