Advocacy

FSNA is the largest and most influential advocacy group for federal pensioners, representing pensioners from the Public Service, Canadian Forces, and RCMP, as well as retired federal judges.  We advocate for the protection and enhancement of our members’ pensions, health & dental insurance benefits.  We advocate to affect change at the policy level to enhance the quality of life for our members.  We also work to prevent the implementation of proposals detrimental to pensioners' interests.

Past successes

Since the inception of FSNA in 1963, we have been working diligently and have dedicated our efforts to advocate on behalf of its members.  Our goal remains to protect the benefits and promote the interests of our members.
