College and University Retiree Associations of Canada /Associations de retraités des universités et collèges du Canada (CURAC/ARUCC) is a not-for-profit federation of retiree organizations at colleges and universities across Canada. The association’s objectives are to:

• coordinate activities that promote communication among member associations,
• share information,
• provide mutual assistance, and
• speak publicly on issues of concern to the over fifteen thousand individual college and university retirees across Canada.

The Simon Fraser University Retirees Association is an active member of CURAC and SFURA members (all SFU retirees) are eligible to access the services and discount offers negotiated by CURAC/ARUCC.

SFURA receives a small commission if you identify yourself as a SFURA member in the process of purchasing these products. In 2024, that was approximately $500, which was used to support member events.
