Retirement Seminars

The Teachers' Provincial and APSEA agreements allow a teacher within 5 years of retirement to register with their Employer to attend a 2-day Retirement Seminar sponsored by the NSTU.

2026-2027 Agenda

The Agenda for the Retirement Seminars typically is below.  Depending on external presenter availability there are sometimes adjustments made for individual Retirement Seminars.

2026-2027 Schedule

NOTE:

1. Teachers do not register with the NSTU for the Retirement Seminars. Employers are required to submit names to the NSTU by September 28, 2026 but each employer will have their own registration deadline. Members should contact their principal/supervisor on how and when they can submit their names to attend a Retirement Seminar this school year.
2. Teachers must register through their employer (Regional Centre for Education, CSAP, or APSEA) and receive approval from their employer to attend a Retirement Seminar. The employer is responsible for advising teachers of their approval to attend a Retirement Seminar, which Retirement Seminar they have been approved to attend, and the appropriate absence code to use.

Retirement Seminar Handouts

Beginning in the 2023-2024 school year, members attending a Retirement Seminar receive a binder with all handouts for the year of the Seminar. The handouts for the NSTU, RTO, and Teachers Plus Credit Union presentations are updated at least annually and available below if you wish to update your binder. The presentations for the Wills and Estate Planning session vary by location and are not available online.
