Millwrights GRSP

Overview & Resources

What is the Millwrights GRSP, and How Does it Work?

The Millwrights GRSP (Group RRSP) is a registered retirement savings plan established to assist all Local 1021 members with their retirement savings. With this arrangement, individual accounts are established with Manulife for each plan member, and all the contributions received on behalf of each member are deposited in their Manulife accounts. Once the contributions are deposited, the members control their investment allocations and strategies.

The Millwrights GRSP approach offers certain cost advantages over individual RRSPs through a preferred fee schedule.
