Carleton University is proud to provide a comprehensive benefits program for its employees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An important part of managing this program is the annual renewal of contracts with our insurers. At this time, we review how the plans have been used and negotiate the best rates possible for the coming year. We have completed our analysis and discussions with Canada Life for the 2026\/2027 benefit year, which runs from May 1, 2026 to April 30, 2027.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Premium rates for benefits will be adjusted effective May 1, 2026 (reflected on April pay statements, as premiums are deducted one month in advance). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
