Talking about money can be a taboo subject, especially when it comes to finances in retirement.

But here’s the thing – although it can seem scary, talking about being financially prepared in retirement is important. It’s why we created the Plan Ambassador program: to advocate for conversations around defined benefit (DB) pensions, and that CAAT has a solution to increase pension coverage across Canada.

As the program grows with members like you joining the movement, we want to make sure you have the support needed to navigate the conversations you’re having. So, we developed a new resource just for you – the Plan Ambassador toolkit – to help you champion the #Pensionsforeveryone message.
