2025 In-Person Pre-Retirement Seminars

Commissioned Officers Association | January 27, 2025

Registration is now open for the 2025 in-person Pre-Retirement Seminars.  

The OPP Association in co-operation with OPP Management sponsor the seminars. These seminars will provide information regarding a member’s emotional well-being during the retirement transition, pension entitlements, insured benefits, insurance options and financial information related to retirement.  

Eligibility: Members are eligible to attend the seminar when they are within five years of their earliest unreduced retirement date (EURD), i.e., Factor 90, 60/20, age 65, Factor 85 (Civilian Only) or 50/30 (Uniform only). Members are encouraged to register for their preferred seminar date as early as possible. Please keep in mind, members are prioritized for a seminar by their EURD.  

Attendance: On-duty time and transportation to attend the seminar will be covered by the OPP, however both must be pre-approved through the member’s Detachment Commander/Manager.  

Accommodation: The OPPA will cover the accommodation expense for members who are 60 minutes or more from the location of the seminar. The expense must be pre-approved by the OPPA. Members who have not received an e-mail confirming the approval, should contact the OPPA Benefits team via e-mail at [email protected].
