For over 30 years, CHF Canada has partnered with the Co-operative Superannuation Society (CSS) to provide retirement benefits to our employees – now your housing co-op can too.
CSS offers expert retirement solutions designed exclusively for co-operative employers. Adding CSS to your total rewards program is a powerful way to show your commitment to long-term sustainability and employee well-being.
With flexible design options, you can tailor contributions and other plan features to fit your organization’s needs while supporting your employees’ pension journeys.
Advantages
The benefits of partnering with CSS are many – for both your employer organization and your employees.
- Security and stability: Partnering with CSS provides you with expert pension administration support so that you can focus on running your business – all while helping to secure your employees’ financial futures through a proven, cost-effective, professionally managed plan.
- Collective strength: By joining together, your employees gain access to high-quality retirement benefits typically reserved for large employers. With flexible contribution, investment and retirement options, CSS helps employees shape their retirement plan – and helps employers boost recruitment, retention and morale.

Democratically controlled by the Co-operative Superannuation Society – a non-profit pension society – employee and employer members have a voice in everything that CSS does.
- Ease and support: CSS makes retirement planning simple, with tools and personalized guidance at every stage.
