We hold public meetings every two years in participating provinces to discuss the financial state of the CPP Fund and our investment activities. They are free and open to the public.
To protect the health of CPP contributors and beneficiaries during the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020’s public meetings will be held online.
People attending each meeting will hear from our Board Chair, Heather Munroe-Blum, and our President and CEO Mark Machin; and will have the opportunity to pose questions to a member of our senior management team.
Topics will include:
- How the Fund is designed to provide retirement benefits for over 20 million contributors and beneficiaries over the long term;
- How we consider environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in our investment activities;
- The types of investments in the Fund and why we invest in global markets;
- How the CPP enhancement was designed to increase retirement incomes and the impact it will have for younger Canadians in particular; and
- Our strategic response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Regional Meetings
We will hold ten meetings: one public meeting for each of the nine provinces that participate in the CPP, and one meeting for the three territories. To attend and learn about how we are investing your CPP contributions, please follow the link for your region’s meeting.
Pre-registration is encouraged to avoid technical difficulties. Registering at the start of or during the meeting may result in sign-on delays of up to three minutes.
