Welcome to Retirees Association

Welcome to the website of the University of Waterloo Retirees Association (UWRA). The UWRA represents the University of Waterloo retirees (both faculty and staff) and helps them enjoy their years of retirement.

The association consists of volunteer board members who represent retiree concerns on Pension and Benefits matters, Human Resources issues and UWaterloo policy changes. A complete description of the roles of the individual board members can be found at the UWRA board of directors home page.

UWRA organizes several events throughout the year that provide an excellent opportunity to connect with friends and make new ones.  Most events are posted on the EVENTS page.  UWRA also sends out direct email announcements of events.  If you haven't been receiving emails, or if you wish to change your email please contact our membership coordinator here.

To keep informed of daily activities on campus, check out the University of Waterloo daily bulletin.
