Important Note: TEAM is sponsoring the financial planning seminars to assist members in gaining a better understanding of the financial choices they face when planning for their retirement. The information is being shared for education purposes only, and must not be considered as investment advice. TEAM strongly recommends that members seek independent professional assistant, such as from a fee-for-service Certified Financial Planner, prior to making any significant financial moves, and in particular, where they are contemplating “cashing-out” their defined benefit pension.
- Christmas and Boxing Day “In-Lieu Days” for 2021: We have received several inquiries from members asking about “in lieu” days for Christmas Day and Boxing Day falling on a weekend this year. The situation is covered under our agreement with Bell, under Article 23.04, which states “the following working day(s) to be observed as the holiday unless the service demands require otherwise”, which means that Monday, December 27th and Tuesday, December 28th are our days off in lieu of Christmas Day and Boxing Day this year, barring exceptions due to service requirements.
- TEAM General Meeting: Our 2nd virtual General Meeting was well attended and we appreciate members’ participation. For those who were unable to attend, the meeting presentation is available here. Additionally, if you are interested in watching a recording of the meeting, please contact the TEAM Office for instructions on how to access the video. We’ve not made the recording public as it includes detailed information about our finances (this information has been removed from the linked presentation). Please let us know if you have questions on any of the topics presented or would like a copy of TEAM’s financial statement.
