#fastfactfriday Did you know? Maximum Pensionable Service is based on a maximum of 35 years of pensionable service. When a Plan member reaches 35 years of pensionable service, they stop contributing to the Plan, and any service beyond 35 years is not considered in the pension formula.

#Fastfactfriday Your TPP pension benefit can include two components: a lifetime pension and, if you are eligible, a bridge benefit. The bridge benefit is payable until age 65, when unreduced benefits from CPP become available. At age 65, the bridge benefit ends. The graphic below shows how CPP works with your TPP.
