Why choose to be a TPWOF Member

The Toronto Police Widows & Orphans Fund is a Fraternal Benefit Society serving our members since 1952. The Fund was created for the sole benefit of members and employees of the Toronto Police Service. We are committed to being First to respond to member’s families in their time of need.

As a Fraternal Benefit Society, funds are managed to ensure the sustainability of benefit payments. Profits accumulated after operational, regulatory and capital requirements are satisfied may be used to increase member benefits. If the Board increases benefits after you retire, your beneficiary will receive the increased amount.

How the Fund is regulated

TPWOF is regulated by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI), the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA), and the Insurance Act, Ontario.

The Fund is managed by a Board comprised of

  • affiliated representatives from the Toronto Police Service, Toronto Police Amateur Athletics Association, Toronto Police Pensioners Association, Toronto Police Association, and the Senior Officers Organization;
  • as well as external knowledge-based Directors.

These Member representatives and experts on the Board oversee the Fund’s financial and regulatory management and compliance, program profitability, benefits administration, and member services. They are committed to delivering high value at a low cost.
