ARM Chapter 11 - Thames Valley

In 1996, the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation (OSSTF) established a new type of membership specifically for Active Retired Members (ARM).  ARM allows retired members to remain actively involved politically and socially with their colleagues.  With the purchase of an ARM Benefit Plan you automatically become a member of the ARM organization.  This comprehensive health plan is open to all teachers and education employees in Ontario, regardless of affiliate membership. The President of ARM Chapter 11-Thames Valley is Pete Chapman (pictured at right).
