OMERS Governance Review 2025
Special Advisor Robert Poirier was appointed in 2024 to conduct a review of the OMERS governance model. The review was initiated in response to fairness, equity and transparency concerns raised by stakeholders who are part of the pension plan.
It had been more than a decade since the last review was undertaken in 2012. After extensive consultations with key plan employee associations and employers, the Special Advisor submitted his report to the government, including his findings and recommendations. The government is considering these recommendations and any future changes to the OMERS governance model would be informed by this report in a manner that supports the plan’s long-term sustainability.
The government will not be making any changes to contribution rates, plan benefits or the supplemental plan.
