The University of Waterloo Retirees Association (UWRA) represents University of Waterloo retired employees, both faculty and staff, and works to help them thrive in retirement.
The UWRA is managed by a Board of Directors, consisting of elected volunteer board members. We are governed by the UWRA Bylaw that is approved by our members. The UWRA represents all retirees on important matters such as pension and benefits, liaison with the Waterloo Human Resources, and Waterloo policies affecting retirees.
The UWRA is a member of the College and University Retiree Associations of Canada (CURAC), a national association representing over fifteen thousand individual retirees.
The UWRA organizes a variety of events throughout the year that provide an excellent opportunity to connect with friends and make new ones. The UWRA also sends out direct email announcements of events, a monthly bulletin, and the WATtimes newsletter.
If you haven't been receiving emails, or if you wish to change your email address, please contact our membership coordinator.
