Welcome to the OKARTA website, the on-line home of the Okanagan Alberta Retired Teachers Association. We are a branch of ARTA, the Alberta Retired Teachers’ Association and currently the only branch of ARTA located outside of Alberta.

We encourage you to explore our website, learn more about ARTA and OKARTA and if you happen to be a retired Alberta teacher living in the Okanagan Valley, join our branch and enjoy the company of fellow Alberta teaching retirees in our activities and events .

If you aren’t already accessing the outstanding benefits program provided by ARTA for retired Alberta teachers, it is definitely worth checking out. Click the link above to learn more about ARTA and how to contact the ARTA office for more information.

If you aren’t a retired teacher, but have retired in another capacity, you should see if your previous employment qualifies you to join the “public and private sector ” side of the ARTA benefits plan. Check the link to ARTA in our website for more information on eligibility.
