MHADTRA promotes good fellowship among teachers and serves as a liaison with the Alberta Retired Teachers’ Association (ARTA) which is located in Barnett House in Edmonton. 

     ARTA offers an insurance plan for retired teachers which provides coverage for Health, Dental, Extended Health Care, Travel, Property, and Life.     

     MHADRTA and the fourteen other ARTA Branches work to improve conditions for retirees, serve as a political influence, and maintain connections to organizations with mutual interests. 

     Branch Representatives to the Board of Directors of ARTA keep members informed of the activities of ARTA as they relate to the welfare of our members.   

     Membership in MHADRTA is $10.00 per year, beginning on July 1st and ending on June 30th. 

     Our "To H_ _ _  With the Bell" luncheon is the fun kick off to the school year and is held traditionally on the first day of school.  All retired teachers and guests are always welcome.
