Pensions The Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan is a partnership between the Ontario Teachers’ Federation and the OTF Affiliated Federations and 2 Associations

With passing of the Teaching Profession Act in 1944, federations became the affiliated bodies of the Ontario Teachers’ Federation. They remain, as far as possible, autonomous bodies, working under their own constitutions. Every member of the Ontario Teachers’ Federation is a member of one of these Affiliates, and it is by and through the Affiliates that nearly all matters that concern the individual member are handled. Each Affiliate provides special services — sickness benefits, legal advice, publications, etc. — for its members, and the members decide what services they want and what fee they wish to pay for these services. Following is an outline of the organization of each of the Affiliates, and the services it provides at present. The fees are listed in the Regulation under the Teaching Profession Act.
