The CPBI Hall of Fame was created in 2011 to celebrate the CPBI’s history and recognize individuals who have been key leaders in the organization over the years. It is a place to recognize and honour CPBI members, past and present, who have given their time and energy to the Institute and who without them the Canadian Pension & Benefits Institute would not be recognized for its educational and networking presence across Canada
