The Alberta Retired Teachers' Association (ARTA) Benefit Plans 

APEGA registrants can join the Alberta Retired Teachers' Association (ARTA) and participate in one of their comprehensive benefit plans. Whether you are an active employee without access to employer-sponsored group benefits, a retiree under 65, or a retiree aged 65 and over, ARTA has a plan to fit your lifestyle. Coverage is also available to the surviving spouse of an eligible member.

Plans include affordable coverage for:
