Participants at one of CURC’s pre-retirement instructor-training courses. Pre-retirement courses are being rolled out across Canada for soon-to-be retirees.
New Horizons has indicated that they will give a grant of $25,000 to CURC to defray the costs of conducting courses to train retirees to deliver a pre-retirement course. Instructors have been trained in Ontario and on the prairies to deliver the course in these regions. A training session is being planned for the Maritimes in the fall. We are looking at doing one in British Columbia next year. Please contact your provincial federation of union retirees to learn about the courses in your province. Contact information is on the web site.
