Muskoka
Bordered by Parry Sound, Algonquin Park, Haliburton, Simcoe County and Georgian Bay, District 46 is the geographical gateway to the lakes and granite of the Precambrian shield.
On January 1, 2007 Muskoka became the newest RTO District, and with a new manageable size and enthusiastic and hardworking volunteers has become the District to watch.
We are attracting more RTO members each year and are one of the fastest growing Districts in terms of percentage growth of membership.

President's Message Welcome to Muskoka District #46. My name is Shirley Harris and I am pleased to be the current president of our local organization. We are a growing district, with almost five hundred members. Our RTO/ERO provincial membership of about 65 000 makes us a strong advocate for seniors’ issues and goodwill activities support those in need. I invite you to explore our website and hope that the contents are both informative and useful. Our newsletters, past and present, are displayed, as well as announcements about coming events and links to other sites that may be worthwhile checking. Our members are very active within the organization locally and our District 46 executive is energetic and enthusiastic. We encourage your participation in our various events throughout the year. Please contact me, if you have any ideas or suggestions or if you require clarification about an issue. In addition, District #46 is pleased to have one of our members, Margaret Couture, as the Provincial President of RTO/ERO. This is a great honour for any district, but it is an especially fine achievement for a district in only its fourth year of existence. We also have members serving as chair of the Provincial Audit Committee and represented on the Provincial Members Services Committee. Membership in RTO/ERO is open to all retired education workers in Ontario. This means that our members include teachers, administrators, secretaries, maintenance workers, educational assistants and former employees of colleges and universities. This list is by no means complete but the information is often not known. Please encourage any colleagues who would qualify to join our excellent organization. I hope to meet you at one of our events throughout the coming year. Sincerely, Shirley Harris, President District #46, Muskoka For my contact information please visit our EXECUTIVE page. |
