The Retired Teachers Organization of the Nova Scotia Teacher’s Union is the official body representing the retired teachers of Nova Scotia. In 1956, a group of retired teachers sought to establish an association of retired teachers across Nova Scotia. They looked to a group of retired female educators entitled Halifax CPX for their inspiration. This organization would sow the seeds for the Retired Teachers Association which was formed on May 25, 1966. In June 2005 the Retired Teachers Association was renamed the Retired Teach
ers Organization of the Nova Scotia Teachers Union. The RTO continues to work for the betterment of retired teachers throughout Nova Scotia growing from the original 25 members to more than 7,000 current members. For more information: http://rto.nstu.ca.
