Statement on the Passing of His Holiness Pope Francis

"It is with profound sadness that we mourn the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis, a shepherd of peace, humility, and unwavering compassion. Like St. Francis of Assisi, the saint after whom he took his papal name, Pope Francis was a tireless advocate for the poor and marginalized and leaves behind a legacy rooted in love, justice, and mercy."

About OTIP

Almost 40 years ago, a group of like-minded individuals came together to create OTIP, the Ontario Teachers Insurance Plan. Their goal isn’t to make money. They are a not-for-profit insurance advocate working for you and members like you. Members are their reason for being — helping them protect the people and things they care about with a full range of group and individual insurance products. They work with the best insurance companies to shape and innovate products and services specially built for you. As a not-for-profit organization, the proceeds they generate are used to fund valuable member-support programs. They believe that insurance built around their members is the best insurance of all. Every product and service they offer has been shaped and improved by their deep understanding of your needs.
