Stay connected with a community that understands your unique experiences while providing valuable benefits like deals and discounts, volunteering opportunities, links to important retiree information and support, and social events. It’s a great way to stay active, advocate for retiree rights and enjoy a fulfilling retirement while staying in touch with former colleagues and meeting new friends.
RTO thrives thanks to the dedication of volunteers who have built and sustained our community over the years. Volunteers are highly valued and can get involved both locally with their branch and at the provincial level, providing meaningful support across communities. By volunteering, you have the chance to make a lasting impact that truly matters.

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.
