Establish a pension plan
How to establish a Bâtirente pension plan?
Bâtirente is more than just a retirement plan! These plans are generally implemented as provided in a collective agreement, particularly regarding the level of employee and employer contributions.

Who can enrol?
All CSN members and their spouses may enroll into Bâtirente individual membership plans, even if none were established by their local unions. They may, for instance, choose to contribute to group RRSPs or to tax-free savings accounts (TFSA).
