MPP REDESIGN PROPOSED CHANGES MEMBER SURVEY

Dear members,

At this time, CUPE BC is conducting a survey of CUPE members who are also members of the BC Municipal Pension Plan (MPP) with regards to the Plan Partners MPP Redesign Proposed changes.  The purpose of the survey is to generate input and assess how the proposed changes will impact members. Please find the survey details below:

Survey Link:  Click here

Estimated Completion Time: 15 minutes

Deadline: October 27th, 2020 at 12:00pm PST

This information will remain confidential and will only be used to guide the CUPE BC Executive Board’s position with the Plan Partners. The plan design information has been copied from the MPP Plan Partners’ Redesign website to ensure accuracy of the proposed plan descriptions.

In addition to the survey, CUPE BC will also be hosting a series of 1-hour, online info sessions for CUPE members on the Plan Partners BC MPP Redesign changes.  If you have members in the MPP, please share the attached invitation and encourage them to register for a session between October 15th-November 3rd.

Please note that the survey and info sessions are not meant to replace the engagement process being conducted by the Plan Partners.  All members are advised to direct their questions and feedback to the MPP Plan Partner Redesign website (mppredesign.ca).

In solidarity,
