The voice of retired teachers in Manitoba
Upon retirement, you are no longer a member of the Manitoba Teachers’ Society. That’s where we come in.
Since 1989, the Retired Teachers’ Association of Manitoba (RTAM) has been the voice for more than 10,000 retired teachers, serving their interests and advocating for their welfare.
We aim to represent our members’ needs while also keeping them connected with their community and engaged through retirement.
