NEW DESJARDINS INSURANCE

Effective June 1, 2024, your benefits moved from Canada Life to Desjardins, with several enhancements. Please refer to this page for details on your new benefits, instructions on how to access the plan member site and app, and transition information. We will replace the Canada Life health and wellbeing information on this website with your new Desjardins information in the coming weeks.

Please note that the Canada Life retirement plans will remain with Canada Life.
