It's Convention Season

It’s our favourite time of year (well, second to Christmas. And summer holidays.)

ARTA is excited to be attending all Teachers’ Conventions across Alberta this year, and we can’t wait to see you there.

Whether you are close to retirement or still years away, we have information and deals to share that all teachers will be eager to learn about: booklets about ARTA Benefit plans, information about ARTA 101 and the ARTA Perks program, fun games with great prizes, and of course, we will have a (school) busload of swag.

We will also be hosting ARTA Cafés at every convention, where you can stop to rest, refresh with complimentary coffee and snacks, and chat with retired teachers about anything you like! There are so many considerations when it comes to retirement, it can help to talk things over with a seasoned retirement pro.

Check the dates and times below to find out how to find us, and don’t miss our exciting presentations about ARTA and the ARTA Benefits Plans. It’s never too early to start looking ahead!
