SHARING OUR STORIES, CONNECTING OUR COMMUNITY
In April 2020, we launched a new platform to bring everyone in the OMERS community together during COVID-19. Fittingly, we named it “OMERS Community.” We were proud to share with you stories from around the pension plan, including updates on our portfolio companies that were stepping up to provide support and services during the pandemic, and to bring you the views and insights of experts who are part of our community. /sites/omers-newsletter/static/images/sites/omers-newsletter/static/images/sites/omers-newsletter/static/images/sites/omers-newsletter/static/images
Having built the platform, we now have an opportunity to broaden its scope to bring you stories and articles on the topics you told us matter to you most, including OMERS investments, environmental sustainability, diversity, health and wellness, the economy, technology and more.
For example, in November, we published a series of articles on pension terminology to help you better understand our investments and financial performance in support of Canada’s Financial Literacy Month.
Here’s a glimpse at some of the other content that you can find on OMERS Community right now:
