WHEREAS pursuant to a certain collective agreement dated May 11, 2021 made between the Division and the Association, the Division has agreed to participate in the administration of the Manitoba Public School Employees Extended Health Benefits and Dental Plans (the “Plans”) for all of the eligible employees (the “Employees”) as described by the Manitoba Public School Employees Dental & Extended Health Benefits Plan Trust (the “Trust”) in the employ of the Division; and
