CURAC Affinity Agreements

by Frank Millerd

Please mention that you are a member of the Wilfrid Laurier University Retirees’ Association when applying for coverage under any of the CURAC affinity programs. Some programs provide rebates to our Association.

Registered Teachers of Ontario Plans

Members of WLURA may join the Retired Teachers of Ontario (RTO) and participate in RTO’s group plans. You must be a member of RTO (fee is $76.50 per year) to join an RTO group insurance plan, but you can join RTO without joining an RTO plan.

RTO Extended Health Care Plan

Retirees not now members of WLU or another extended health care plan, or those wishing additional insurance, may join RTO and the RTO Extended Health Care Plan. RTO members currently in Laurier’s plan will be accepted into the RTO Extended Health Care Plan without a medical questionnaire. Coverage is also available for a spouse and dependent children.

Joining RTO to ensure that the surviving spouse or partner is eligible to join RTO group plans:

RTO does not offer stand-alone travel insurance but their full extended health care package includes competitive travel and trip-cancellation insurance.
