Our plan

The plan is a joint sponsorship arrangement between the Ontario government through the Minister of Education and the executive of the Ontario Teachers’ Federation. This gives members and the government shared responsibility for funding the pension plan.

The plan provides a lifetime pension to Ontario’s active and retired teachers, and their survivors. It also provides benefits if members die, become disabled or permanently leave teaching before retirement.

Board members are required to act independently of both the plan sponsors and management and to make decisions in the best interests of all beneficiaries of the pension plan.
