Complying With 2006 Alberta Pension Reform

On August 10, 2006, the Employment Pension Plans Amendment Act, 2005 and the Employment Pension Plans Amendment Regulation took effect, introducing a series of long-anticipated amendments to the Alberta Employment Pension Plans Act and the Employment Pension Plans Regulation. These changes, several of which will require plan sponsors to amend their plans, affect plans registered in Alberta as well as plans registered outside of Alberta with Alberta members.
