Making your selections

You’ll receive an email from GreenShield and from Manulife letting you know when the enrolment period is open and including instructions on how to access their enrolment tool.

Enrolling in the Health and Wellness Program

During the enrolment period, you’ll need to:

Choose your coverage options (Gold, Gold+) for the Health Benefit, Dental Benefit and Long-Term Disability
Select your coverage status (single, single parent, couple, family) or choose to opt out of the Health and Dental Benefits (if you have coverage elsewhere)
Choose how you want to use and/or allocate your flexible dollars
Decide if you want optional coverage for added financial security and peace of mind (Optional Life Insurance and Optional Critical Illness Insurance)
Complete your beneficiary designations

You have until October 3 to enrol in the Health and Wellness Program. During the enrolment period, you’ll be able to make as many updates as you like. Only the selections submitted by the end of the enrolment period will apply as of November 1, 2025.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON’T ENROL?

The following default coverage will apply:
• Gold option for the Health Benefit, Dental Benefit and Long-Term Disability, if eligible
• You’ll keep your current coverage status (based on dependents on file)
• Any flexible dollars will be split 50/50 between your HCSA and PSA
• Your current optional coverage will be transferred

Enrolling in the Savings Program

During the enrolment period, you’ll need to:

Set your RRSP contribution rate (0.5% to 3% to get the employer match, if eligible)
Choose your investment selections (Ready-made option or Do-it-yourself option)
Complete your beneficiary designations

You have until October 17 to enrol in the Savings Program. Once you’re enrolled, you won’t be able to make new changes until November 3, 2025.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON’T ENROL?

If your participation in the Savings Program is mandatory, you’ll be automatically enrolled in the DCPP and RRSP to receive the automatic employer contribution. Without investment instructions, your accumulated assets and future contributions will be invested in the Ready-made investment option, a target date fund with the retirement date closest to age 65.
