Resources from the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board’s 2026 Public Meetings

In October 2026, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) held public meetings in eight cities across Canada. These meetings are a rare opportunity for Canadians to engage directly with the staff and executives that manage the nearly $900-billion Canada Pension Plan on behalf of over 22 million beneficiaries and contributors.

Our national pension manager does not intend to make audio or video recordings or written transcripts of the public meetings available to the public.

Canadians used their mobile phones to capture photos, audio recordings and videos at seven of the CPPIB meetings (all but the one in St. John’s), which included questions from attendees and answers given by senior staff and executives at CPPIB. The audio recordings can be found at these links:

• Vancouver, BC - October 6th

• Ottawa, ON - October 8th

• Winnipeg, MB - October 14th

• Saskatoon, SK - October 15th

• Halifax, NS - October 19th

• Charlottetown, PEI - October 26th

• Fredericton, NB - October 27th

CPPIB also held two public meetings in Alberta earlier this year. Audio recordings from those meetings are also included here:

• Calgary, AB - February 23rd

• Edmonton, AB - February 25th

Sharing these recordings enables some semblance of transparency to the millions of Canadians who were unable to attend a CPPIB public meeting in person. It sheds some light on the questions that Canadians asked CPPIB staff at these public meetings, as well as the responses provided by CPPIB staff.
