Earlier this month, OPTrust President and CEO Peter Lindley joined Board Vice‑Chair Ram Selvarajah, members of the Squamish Nation, and the broader community for a traditional blessing ceremony at the Sen̓áḵw housing development in Vancouver. The blessing of Tower 1 marked a meaningful milestone as the community prepares to welcome residents in the coming weeks.

“Being present for this deeply emotional ceremony was humbling and inspiring. Seeing the community come together to honour the ancestral and spiritual connection between people and place was a powerful reminder of what this development represents,” said Lindley. “I’m proud of the work OPTrust has done on Sen̓áḵw. This is a transformative development—supporting the long‑term retirement security of our members, strengthening the economic future of the Squamish Nation, and delivering much‑needed rental housing to the Vancouver region.”

Blessing new housing as a community is a long‑standing Squamish tradition, recognizing the bond between people and place. The new development is being built on ancestral lands returned to the Nation in 2003, after nearly a century of dispossession. The first phase of the development will be completed in 2026, adding over 1400 purpose-built rental housing units to the Vancouver region.

Our team recently welcomed some very special (and furry) guests to our Toronto office for a puppy yoga session.

While we might have been a little distracted during our poses, it was a perfect opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy plenty of cuddles.

Moments like these remind us that supporting wellbeing at work is also about creating space to connect, recharge and find a bit of joy in the day.

A big thank you to our Wellness Team for bringing this to life.

Responsible investing has been an integral part of our investment strategy since the earliest days of the Plan. Building on that foundation we continue to manage ESG factors and pursue sustainable opportunities to create long-term value and strengthen pension security for our members. In 2025, we achieved all our climate change strategy targets set for the year, in line with our net zero by 2050 ambition.

On Monday, our teams gathered to celebrate International Women's Day, hosted by our Women & Allies for Gender Equality (WAGE) Employee Resource Group.

This year’s theme, Give to Gain, reminds us that meaningful progress doesn't happen in isolation. It’s built through shared support, opportunity and care. In that spirit, employees also participated in a Giving Tree drive organized by WAGE, directly supporting women in our community who need it most.

Thank you to WAGE and to all our employees who participated in our IWD activities, supporting one another and the communities around us.
