I read the eight-page "Federal Public Service Compensation & Benefits" discussion. I retired from the municipal public service seven years ago,
CUMULATIVE SICK PAY:
18 days per year. It can be used or banked.

The City pays one hundred per cent (100%) of the premiums.
LONG TERM DISABILITY ( LTD )

Cumulative sick bank can be used to top up LTD to 100%.
PERMANENT MODIFIED WORK:
"Employees who are placed in a permanent alternate position, due to an occupational injury/illness (as defined by the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board), will be subject to the normal assessment period and will receive the wage rate of the position to which they are assigned. If the pre-injury rate of pay is higher than the relocated position rate, then the pre-injury rate is to be maintained. It is understood that the pre-injury rate is subject to all wage increases negotiated."

After you retire, you remain on full benefits until age 65. The City continues to pay 100% of the premiums.
After age 65: "Any employee who is eligible for retiree benefits beyond age sixty-five (65) shall continue to be eligible for said benefits."
Young people considering a career in emergency services should read the collective agreements of the municipality they wish to apply to.
