Paul Hickey

Paul Hickey is the founder of OMERS.These were some of the principal reasons behind the development of the OMERS concept by Paul Hickey, an Assistant Deputy Minister in the Department of Municipal Affairs, and J.E. Davidson of the Wyatt Company, Actuaries. Paul Hickey was the driving force behind the creation of OMERS. In 1957, when he was Treasurer of the City of Hamilton, Paul successfully amalgamated the city's many pension plans – standardizing benefits and reducing costs. When he later joined the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, he was convinced that bringing together large and small municipal and local board employers into a standardized and centrally administered plan would bring the same benefits to Ontario.
