Notes:
These stories have been created to show how Canada Life can support members at different stages of life. They are not real-life stories.
WeCare is a non-contractual benefit provided to defined benefit pension scheme buy-out members through Canada Life and can be altered or withdrawn at any time.
*Immediate family includes a spouse, partner, parent or sibling living in the same household as the member, any legal dependant under 21 in full‑time education, or any other legal dependant who relies on the member due to disability. If the member passes away, the spouse or partner will retain access to WeCare using the member’s details for six months.
