Alberta Retired Teachers' Association (ARTA)

The Alberta Retired Teachers’ Association (ARTA) is a vibrant organization made up of over 30,000 retired educators and like-minded professionals. Created by teachers in 1963, we are an Alberta-based not-for-profit linked by a common purpose – to ensure a healthy, active, engaged, and vibrant lifestyle for our members in their retirement. We operate seventeen local branches in Alberta and one in British Columbia.

Our Services and Benefits include: • the ARTA Benefit Plans, offering health, travel, and dental insurance plans; • ARTARx, one of Canada's first plan-owned pharmacies; • news&views, a quarterly magazine, and ARTAfacts, an e-newsletter published twelve times per year; • the ARTA Perks discount program offers discounts on retail, travel, entertainment, recreation, wellness, apparel, and automotive services; • home, auto, life, and travel insurance; • advocacy on seniors’ issues; • scholarships for family members; and so much more.
