Who We Are

The Heartland Alberta Retired Teachers’ Association (HARTA) came to fruition in September of 2012. As a branch of the Alberta Retired Teachers’ Association (ARTA), HARTA was established to more actively serve the counties of Brazeau, Leduc, and Wetaskiwin.

HARTA provides services, resources, and advocacy in the pursuit of an engaged lifestyle for retired teachers. We are an avenue for educators to continue to make a difference in their community.

The Alberta Retired Teachers’ Association (ARTA) was established in 1963 and has seventeen branches throughout Alberta and one satellite branch in British Columbia. To find out which branch is closest to you, visit the ARTA website.
