~~~ Kamloops Thompson Regional District Impressions by HjDalley ~~~

Welcome…

The Kamloops Thompson Retired Teachers’ Association (KTRTA) started in 1971 as a branch of the British Columbia Retired Teachers’ Association (BCRTA).

The Kamloops Thompson Retired Teacher’s Association branch of the BCRTA geographically covers not just the Kamloops Thompson region, we also reach areas of the province west of Kamloops to Lillooet, east to Chase, south to Westwold and north to Blue River. We include retired educators from the Gold Trail and Kamloops Thompson School Districts. We include members who taught elsewhere in Canada and joined our local branch when they moved to our region for their retirement. We currently have over 450 members. We look forward to keeping in touch with everyone!

Our Mission…

Our mission at the KTRTA is to enhance the quality of life for all of our local branch members. Our goal is to provide social connection and engagement with important issues. We also provide the BCRTA with representation from this broad region of B.C. [Read more…]
