Given the mandatory evacuation of Fort McMurray and surrounding areas, the Office of the Superintendent of Pensions in Alberta has extended the deadline for filing Annual Information Returns and Audited Financial Statements from June 30, 2016 to August 31, 2016 for those pension plans who are located in Fort McMurray.
Canada Revenue Agency has also informed us that they will not be levying late filing fees for Annual Information Returns for organizations from Fort McMurray. The deadline for providing annual member statements to plan members who are located in Fort McMurray has also been extended to August 31, 2016.
For pension plans which may be affected by the wildfires but that are administered outside of Fort McMurray, please contact the Office of the Superintendent of Pensions to request additional time beyond June 30, 2016. Finally, if an extension to August 31, 2016 does not provide sufficient time, please contact the Office of the Superintendent of Pensions to arrange for a further extension.
