Rankin will be outlining the current state of affairs as well as sharing some pension reform initiatives proposed by his party.

“I am very happy that Murray will be able to be with us in Oliver”, stated Atamanenko. “In addition to outlining some of our proposals, it is my hope to get feedback from those present as to what some of the priorities are for pension reform”.

The meeting will be held Saturday November 30th in Oliver at the Elks Hall from 12:00 noon – 2:00pm. A light lunch will be served.

People are encouraged to contact Atamanenko’s office in Oliver (250-498-5353) if they are interested in attending as this will help planning for lunch.

According to Rankin, “nearly a third of our workforce is facing a steep drop off in their standard of living by retirement. Only 38% of Canadians have access to a workplace pension plan. We can do better for our seniors.”
