Retirement Planning Seminars

Are your Employees Retirement Ready?

MROO is Here to Assist OMERS Employers! 

 Hosted by real OMERS retirees, MROO Retirement Planning Seminars cover the financial aspects of retirement (with information on their OMERS pension provided directly by OMERS representatives) but layered with a more holistic approach. MROO sessions include a focus on retirement from a social, emotional, and health perspective, using real world examples.

Why MROO's Retirement Planning Seminars? 

  • Our experienced and professional facilitators have delivered hundreds of seminars to employees within five years of retirement for local government employers and unions.

  • Each seminar is interactive and highlighted by a panel of retirees (MROO members) who share their “if I knew then what I know now” stories.

  • Each seminar attendee receives our Retirement Planning Guide, full of resources and information including budgets in both paper and electronic form.

  • The cost is just $25 per individual, with a minimum of 15 attendees, and it includes a lifetime MROO Membership for each paid participant.
