Ottawa-Carleton Branch

Welcome to the Ottawa-Carleton Branch of RWTO/OERO!

Ottawa-Carleton is a branch of over 100 members who meet to enjoy the company of other women retirees and planned events and are involved in community outreach. We welcome all former women educators from anywhere to join us. We begin each new year of retirement with a Welcome lunch in September, have a Christmas celebration in December and a Spring Luncheon and AGM in May. Other events may include:

  • speakers, presentations and workshops on topics of interest to our members
  • visits to area attractions such as art galleries, museums, historical sites, theatre productions
  • monthly meetings of our active book club and our very popular Breakfast and Conversation

Members enjoy the “caring and sharing” aspects of the organization, while having fun at the same time.

The Tulip Festival and Winterlude are two of the annual attractions in Ottawa that we enjoy in our area.  Come and enjoy the natural beauty of Eastern Ontario!

Annual membership for Ottawa Carleton Branch for the 2023 -2024 year is $50.00.Please send your cheque to Barbara Edwards.
