RTO/ERO 50th Anniversary Events
With more than 81,000 members and 51 districts from coast to coast, RTOERO is a national organization serving teachers and other retirees from the field of education. With more than 4,000 strong, RTOERO District 27 Ottawa-Carleton has the second-largest membership of the organization with individuals ranging in age from their pre-fifties to early hundreds! Like the national office, District 27 is one of the few districts to offer truly bilingual services, including the Horizons 27 magazine and this website. Founded in 1971, Harry Redfern chaired the first meeting of the Ottawa-Carleton unit. The district is, therefore, celebrating its fiftieth anniversary in 2021.
