A word from CEO Paula Boyd:

I have come into the role of CEO with strong conviction in the Pension Plan.  We have a great team offering high quality service.  Our Plan has performed extremely well over the past couple years and is in an excellent position to perform well into the future. It is a pleasure to get to be at the front of a pension plan that provides benefits to so many Haligonians, including family and friends. For more information on our Plan I encourage you to review our annual report.
