Alberta Retired Teachers Association

The Alberta Retired Teachers' Association (ARTA) is a member-focused organization supporting Alberta’s retired teachers and promoting an engaged, fulfilling lifestyle after retirement. It brings members together through local branches, communications, events, leadership opportunities, and advocacy on provincial and federal issues. ARTA also provides practical services designed to support members’ health, finances, and day-to-day wellbeing.

Its offerings include comprehensive benefit plans and the ARTARx pharmacy, which helps members manage their health needs. Members can access telemedicine, online counselling, claims support, benefit information, and in-person appointments with member services administrators. The ARTA Perks discount program provides savings, while the association’s website shares newsletters, news, and resources on living well, travel, creativity, and retirement.

ARTA supports learning and community involvement through scholarships, contests, and its charitable foundation, which invites donations and reports on its impact. Members can find association forms, connect with staff, join a local branch, and take part in committee meetings and upcoming events. Through these programs and services, ARTA combines member benefits with connection, advocacy, and opportunities to contribute.
