"I have been a member since 1988 and have always told my family that my annual HOOPP statement is the single most important and anticipated piece of mail that arrives at our house! It's been very gratifying to see that I can look forward to a very comfortable retirement based on the exceedingly impressive returns of this well-run the plan. A big thank you to everyone responsible!"

"Being a member of HOOPP is an effortless aspect of my life that makes me feel very responsible. When people ask why I’m not worried about retirement and I tell them it’s taken care of, they think I must be a financial guru. Nope, I’m just a HOOPP member!"

"I blinked, and suddenly I was 51. In this current fiscal climate, I know I am truly blessed to have a defined benefit plan like HOOPP. Bring on the painting, the photography, the gardening, hiking and dinner parties!"

"Every time someone asks me where I work, they say, ‘Oh, you’ve got that really good retirement plan – lucky you!’ Of course, I know they’re right."

"HOOPP is allowing me and my family to focus on our lives without financial fear of the future. I am comfortable and content to let the good people at HOOPP do what they do best."

"I value and appreciate the stewardship HOOPP provides for its members. I'm looking very forward to beginning my pension early next year. Thank you HOOPP for helping me achieve my dreams!"

"As I approach my retirement, I have begun to appreciate the value of having professionals working on my behalf to ensure my post-working years are all they can and should be. Thank you HOOPP!"

"I think HOOPP is one of the most trustworthy pension plans. It seems that this plan is in the hands of people that know how to survive the good and the bad financial times."

"I have changed employers twice in the last few years and [the employers] being part of HOOPP was one of the key benefits attracting me. I am fortunate to have been able to maintain my membership."

"Excited about the future of HOOPP. I'm confident and secure about my future pension. Thank you."

"As I consider retirement in the next few years, I appreciate the proactive approach of HOOPP."

"I am blown away by the competence and skill of this pension plan. Amazing! Just amazing."

"Great work managing our pension funds! Looking forward to becoming a HOOPP pensioner in 2016."

"The Peterborough Family Health Team joined the HOOPP pension plan in 2014. Having the HOOPP pension plan to offer current and new employees has assisted us with our recruitment and retention efforts. The fact that you can transfer an existing pension to HOOPP has been fantastic as many of our employees have previously contributed and this allows them to continue the journey to a stable income upon retirement. HOOPP itself is an excellent plan with fantastic returns year after year. I feel confident that you are providing one of the best pension plans to our employees, and would encourage other Family Health Teams to explore this opportunity."

"The VCHC joined HOOPP in 2012 to address a staff retention issue identified in a staff satisfaction survey completed earlier in the same year. Since we joined HOOPP VCHC’s staff turnover rate has been reduced significantly and recruitment costs have decreased dramatically. Our employees feel more at ease knowing they now have a guaranteed lifetime pension."

"We heard loud and clear from our staff that having access to HOOPP was a critical piece of the overall compensation package. I believe that it has been key to successfully recruiting new staff, and to retaining those already with the organization. Certainly, as an employer, offering HOOPP to employees is a win."
