YOU ARE NOT ALONE
The Federal Superannuates National Association (FSNA) was formed in 1963 to safeguard the interests of superannuates and their survivors whose annuities were being ravaged by inflation. As a result of the efforts of FSNA and others, superannuation was fully indexed to inflation in 1974. FSNA has also helped secure and protect many rights and benefits for federal retirees. FSNA has been able to do this because it represents people in receipt of a pension from the Public Service of Canada, the Canadian Forces and the RCMP. Its membership totals 95 000.
FSNA is a leader on seniors issues, forging ties with other seniors' groups to safeguard and seek enhancements to retirement benefits and to advocate the right of all seniors to live in dignity and security.
FSNA is present in shaping social policies affecting seniors, and the more members it has, the stronger its impact and its influence on Government decision-making
