The benefits provided by the Trust Fund are combinations of those purchased from insurance companies, and those provided directly by the Trust Fund. These benefits are funded with contributions made by your employer on your behalf. The contributions are made to the Trust Fund as a result of a Collective Bargaining Agreement. The Board of Trustees looks after the Trust Fund.
The Trustees are responsible for the design of the benefit package provided by the Trust Fund and for the allocation of the contributions made to the Trust Fund. To help carry out their duties, the Trustees have appointed various people such as accountants, consultants and lawyers to provide them with professional advice. The Trustees meet with these advisors from time to time to review matters that arise in the running of the Trust Fund. The Trustees make all decisions that are necessary at these meetings by taking a vote amongst themselves. The Trust Fund’s Administrative Agent who is Benefit Plan Administrators Limited performs the daily administrative functions of the Trust Fund.
The Trustees expect that the benefits provided by the Trust Fund will be continued indefinitely, but necessarily reserve the right to amend or terminate the benefit coverage described herein in whole, or in part, without prior notice and in their sole discretion.
