At a recent ACER-CART Political Advocacy Committee meeting it was brought to our attention that the Retired Teachers Ontario (RTO/ERO) are considering changing the name of their organization to Entente. This is the same name as their Group insurance Plan. They are now claiming to be “Canada’s Education Retirees” and want to expand across Canada by having other retired teacher organizations join their group insurance plans, hence becoming RTO/ERO members. I have written the following letter that was sent to the 54 RTO/ERO District Presidents explaining why this needed to be stopped and also explain that ACER-CART is the official body representing retired teachers in Canada. I believe it is important that RTO members be apprised of these actions and continue to support ACER-CART as “Canada’s Education Retirees”.
-Bill Berryman President ACER-CART.

The RTO has advocated through the NSTU RTO Liaison Committee for this increase. Details can be viewed HERE.
