Why join UWRA?
Discover Your Community. Protect Your Benefits. Enrich Your Retirement.
Become a Full Member of the UWRA!
Retirement doesn’t mean stepping away—it means stepping into a community that values your experience, your voice, and your curiosity. The University of Waterloo Retirees Association (UWRA) is where friendships grow, ideas spark, and retirees stay engaged with the campus they helped build.
And membership is just $15 a year—or $130 for a lifetime of connection, education, advocacy, and fun.
Why join UWRA? Because you want to thrive in retirement!
