CURAC

College and University Retiree Associations of Canada (CURAC)

College and University Retiree Associations of Canada /Associations de retraités des universités et collèges du Canada (CURAC/ARUCC) is a not-for-profit federation of more than 40 retiree associations at colleges and universities across Canada.

CURAC’s objectives are to

  •     coordinate activities that promote communication among member associations,
  •     share information,
  •     provide mutual assistance, 
  •     speak publicly on issues of concern to the more than 20,000 college and university retirees across Canada.

UGRA is an active member of CURAC, and our members (and retirees) are eligible to access the services and discount offers negotiated by CURAC/ARUCC.

Some of the partners offer a small rebate to CURAC, which is shared with the referring associations, so remember mention our association and CURAC when you purchase products or services from a partner. And every partner offers some perk to retirees!

Group travel; custom travel; home, car, travel insurance; extended health insurance; eyewear; hearing aids and hearing protection; and more! For more information and how to take advantage of the various offers, visit the Membership Benefits page at CURAC/ARUCC.

CURAC newsletters are available on the CURAC newsletter page. Recent newsletters of other Retiree Associations across Canada are also available.

Subscribe to the newsletter if you would like to be notified when new issues are available.
