The Regina Civic Employees’ Pension Plan is in trouble. The City of Regina is refusing to implement the deal signed by all parties in May 2013 and increase its contributions as required. Saskatchewan’s pension regulator, meanwhile, is now considering cancelling the pension plan due to non-compliance with pension law.
Workers and retirees are facing uncertainty about their retirement and have launched a campaign calling for the City of Regina and elected City Councillors to “Honour Our Deal“.
