Promoting retirees’ financial security, health and well-being

With more than 170,000 members, including more than 60,000 veterans and their families, our association has been advocating for improvements to the financial security, health and well-being of our members and all Canadians since 1963.

Federal Retirees is committed to building an association that values diversity, equity and inclusion by encouraging and supporting respect for the dignity, beliefs and values outlined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and all applicable provincial Human Rights Codes.

We believe every Canadian, today and in the future, should benefit from better retirement income security and a strong, sustainable health-care system.

Add your voice and join us. Let’s make retirement better for all Canadians.
