On behalf of the Executive and Board of Governors of the Ontario Teachers’ Federation (OTF), President Chris Cowley is pleased to announce the appointment of William (Bill) Butt to the Board of the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (OTPP) for a three-year term commencing January 1, 2026.
Bill Butt began his investment industry career at TD Financial Group in mergers and acquisitions followed by 20 years of broader investment and corporate banking experience at BMO Financial Group.
Bill brings deep experience in investments from his career in finance as well as having served on several private and public sector boards. Bill has an MBA, from the Ivey Business School, Western University, a B.Comm from the University of Windsor and holds the Institute of Corporate Directors designation (ICD.D).
“Bill brings significant expertise in investments and pensions stemming both from his experience in the financial industry and his Board experience at CI Financial and OMERS, the latter of which he leaves as he takes up his new role at OTPP,” stated Cowley, “Bill will be a tremendous asset to the OTPP Board.”
The Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan is jointly sponsored by the Ontario Teachers’ Federation and the Government of Ontario. Director and Chair appointments are for three-year terms, renewable for a maximum of three terms. Each sponsor appoints five Board members and the sponsors jointly appoint an eleventh person to serve as Chair.
The Ontario Teachers’ Federation is the advocate for the teaching profession in Ontario and for its 160,000+ teachers. OTF members are full-time, part-time and occasional teachers in all publicly funded schools in the province—elementary, secondary, public, Catholic and the French-language system.
