PENSION WARS Target Benefit Plans and You
SUMMER 2015 PRICE: $4.95 Dying well: The crisis in end-of-life care PAGE 12 Short cuts: Holidays close to home PAGE 21 Holidays on the quad: The next trend in travel PAGE 17 PENSION WARS Target benefit plans and you. PAGE 7 PM40065047 ASSOCIATION We’re defending retirees’ rights. YOU CAN HELP. Your Association is protecting your pensions and reduce pension benefits and eliminate indexation for pensioners benefits. But we can’t do it without your help. after they have retired. The federal government’s move to target benefit plans is aimed at federally-regulated employers and Crown corporations — for now. But target benefits plans could become a trend in Canada — which would entail big changes for federal employees and retirees. Employers should not be allowed to impose measures that affect pensions which employees have already earned. The coming federal election is our Association’s opportunity to speak out for pension protection and ask employers to honour the pension promises they’ve made. We’re calling our federal election campaign Honour Your Promise — an echo of the campaign we used to speak out against changes to the Public Service Health Care Plan. We are supported in this campaign by other veterans’ associations, seniors groups, unions and private sector pensioners. We need your support — now more than ever before. Many of you have contacted our national office to volunteer your help in the fight for your pensions and benefits, and we thank you. Many of you have offered to make a financial contribution to our legal fund and advocacy campaign. -

A History of the UOCC
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE UKRAINIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH OF CANADA UOCC Cathedral pictureThe seed of the Orthodox Faith was sowed on the Canadian land, not by missionaries, but by simple peasants, who came from Ukraine and established themselves on the Canadian prairies. It is indeed on this simple, but at the same time deep, faith of the Ukrainian peasants-pioneers that the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada was established. Most of the first Ukrainian settlers came to Canada from Halychyna (where they were Greek Catholics) and from Bukovyna (where they belonged to the Orthodox Church). The Halychany, settling in Canada, where visited once in awhile by Greek-Catholic priests, but the Vatican wished to attached them to the Roman-Catholic Church already in existence, which would have assimilated them. The Bukovynians arriving in North America usually incorporated themselves into the Russian Orthodox Mission, which was already in existence. Nevertheless, the Ukrainian immigrants desired to have a Church with a Ukrainian character, which would be closer to the spiritual and cultural needs of the Ukrainian people, and this led to the formation of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada. In July 1918 a confidential conference of disenchanted lay Catholics from Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta created a Ukrainian Orthodox Brotherhood — its goal — to organize the Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church of Canada. Although the Ukrainian settlers who took part in the organization of this Church body were not theologians, they were conscious of the canon law that a Church body cannot exist without a bishop. Thus, the brotherhood contacted Archbishop Alexander, an ethnic Ukrainian in the Russian Orthodox Mission in North America, who initially accepted to become the temporary bishop of the Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church of Canada (U.G.O.C.C.) and to preside at its first Sobor, but later refused. -
