About Our Cambridge Branch

Welcome to the Cambridge Branch, Area 2 of RWTO/OERO

We are a diverse group of retired teachers living in the Cambridge area, with some members from Brantford, Paris, Kitchener-Waterloo, Ayr and the townships. Our 76 members include five Life members. Most of us taught for the WRDSB. Our Branch has two book clubs, a hiking club and 2 genealogy clubs, novice and advanced. We have two Facebook groups. Check the ‘Events” page for more information on these groups.
