Welcome to The Association of British Columbia College Pension Plan Retirees’ website. As our name suggests, the CPPR represents retired members of the BC College Pension Plan, in other words retired instructors and administrators from some of BC’s universities and from the Colleges and Institutes.
Our Purpose is to advocate on behalf of our members and through our affiliations with other seniors’ groups on behalf of seniors in general. We also offer our members access to group insurance programs.
The primary purpose of our non-partisan society is to protect and enhance our College Pension Plan and other related pension benefits for current and future retirees.
CPPR achieves the purpose by:
- Lobbying, advocating, and working with our Trustees, Plan Partners, B.C. Pension Corporation, Affiliates, and External Organizations.
- Working with BC public sector pension plan retirees’ associations.
- Facilitating education on matters of common interest to our members
