The UPEI Human Resources department is pleased to offer Pre-Retirement Planning Program (PRP) to active faculty and staff of the University of Prince Edward Island.  The program addresses the many areas one needs to consider for a successful and satisfying retirement, including the UPEI pension plan, Canada Pension Plan, tax implications, and making the personal transition to retirement.

PRP is designed to assist you in becoming a better-informed retirement consumer and to increase your skills in utilizing available resources.  Each session will incorporate an expert speaker, time for questions from participants, and other materials pertinent to that session's topic.

Due to the nature of these sessions, space is limited.  Please register by emailing employeeserv@upei.ca.  Release-time from your department is generally needed to participate.

Room Location: McDougall Hall room 246
