Who we are
The BCIT Retirees Association (BCITRA) is a community of former faculty, staff, and administrators who retired from BCIT but want to stay connected with the Institute and the people in it.
We’re a member-funded organization, governed by an approved set of bylaws and guided by an elected board.
We may be retired, but we’re extremely dedicated to helping members keep in touch with each other. We host activities and events throughout the year, including:
- Pub lunches
- Holiday get-togethers
- Day trips and group outings
- Annual general meetings
- Wellness workshops
- College Pension Plan Retirees workshops
In addition, we connect with members through email newsletters and updates periodically.
What we do
Supporting BCIT students on an ongoing basis is our other main goal. We provide bursaries every year to help students with their education. Money for these bursaries comes from interest generated by the BCITRA Endowment Fund.
We encourage members to support this fund and future BCIT students.
