Alberta Retired Teachers' Association Mission

The Alberta Retired Teachers' Association (ARTA) is a group organized to advocate for retired teachers on the issues that affect their well-being. ARTA regularly takes concerns about pensions and declining health care benefits to the provincial government and the Alberta Teachers' Retirement Fund.

ARTA has a representative on the Alberta Council on Aging and is a member of the Canadian Association of  Retired Teachers.  ARTA currently has over 9,000 members who are organized into 15 Branches throughout Alberta and one Satellite Branch in BC.

ARTA has eight voluntary insurance options in the excellent ARTA Group Benefits Program available to members, associate members and their dependents.  Apply early! When enrolling in ARTA's Health Plan, your acceptance will be guaranteed without a medical exam provided you apply for coverage before, or within, 60 days of leaving another group insurance plan. For more information or to apply for coverage, contact the ARTA Group Plan Administrator, Johnson Inc. at  1- 877- 989-2600 .
