The Facts About The Canada Pension Plan And Alberta - Town Hall Discussion

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Edmonton, Alberta, Nov. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The National Association of Federal Retirees is hosting a town hall discussion regarding the Alberta government's proposal to replace the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) with a new Alberta Pension Plan (APP).

In September 2023, the Alberta government presented a report it commissioned on the possibility of leaving the CPP to establish the APP. The CPP is one of the largest pension plans globally, providing a portable and secure source of income for approximately 21 million participants. Exiting the CPP could have significant implications for Alberta residents.

Notable pension experts Trevor Tombe and Patrick Imbeau, the Association's senior pension expert, will share insights on the implications of the proposed APP for Alberta residents. The event will be moderated by Roy Goodall, the Association president.

Date: Wednesday, November 13, 2024
Time: 1:30 - 3:30pm MST
Location: Kingsway Legion (Royal Canadian Legion Br. 175), 14339 50 Street Northwest Edmonton

Media are invited to attend with Patrick Imbeau available to coordinate interviews following the discussion.
