Membership and Group Benefits Applications Due
A reminder that all newly appointed administrators must submit their OPC membership application and Group Benefits Application for Long-term Disability Insurance (LTDI) by October 31. Failure to do so will result in a loss of historical protective services coverage for any employment-related event or circumstance that arose or occurred prior to becoming an OPC Member, and proof of good health will be required to receive LTD insurance. For more information, contact membership@principals.ca or opcbenefits@principals.ca.
OPC Website Shutdown
We want to let Members know that the building our provincial office is located in is scheduled for a full building power shutdown from Sunday, October 20 at 10:00 p.m. until Monday, October 21 at 6:00 a.m. During this time, our office will have no power and Members will not have access to the OPC website, as it will be shut down.
