March 30, 2010 - New slideshows have been made available to help teachers better understand the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan through a new website: FundingYourPension.com.

The website hosts five separate slideshows:
- Funding Your Pension
- Conditional Inflation Protection
- Plan Maturity
- What is Smoothing?
- Where Assumptions Fit In
The slideshows are from four to 15 minutes long and each are accompanied by audio narration. The presentations explain how the pension plan works and the challenges that it faces. The website also provides a FAQ section as well email form that allows you to pose questions of your own.
