5. In Memorium: Jim Ross asked us to remember

family, friends and colleagues who are no longer with

us. This was followed by the reading of a poem and a

financial report for 2016. As of January 1, 2017, we

had a balance of $7,081.80.

Motion 3: (moved by Rex Sharman, seconded

the Treasurer’s Report be accepted as presented.

The motion was passed.

7. Committee Reports:

a) Victoria Unit: Ron Hall (Unit President)

Ron gave a summary of the most recent Victoria unit

events and wished District President, Gloria

Humphrey, a speedy recovery.

b) Mid/Upper Island Unit: Jim Ross (Unit

President)

Jim gave a summary of recent Mid/Upper Island Unit

events and reminded members of the upcoming

Milner Gardens Tour and luncheon. May 4 is the

deadline for entry.

e) Archives: Darrell Grande (Past President &

Archivist)

Darrell is looking for Agendas from the Victoria Unit

Executive Meetings from 2008 to 2015 as well as the

list of attendees for the District 47 AGM in 2007. It

would also be advantageous to archive any photos—

preferably labeled—that were taken at the various

district and unit events. Any member who is able to

provide these documents for the Archives is asked to

contact Darrell. Darrell also thanked the members of

the Victoria and Mid/Upper Island Unit executives

for providing the documents for the Archives.

Without their help, we wouldn’t have been able to

collect such an extensive record of District 47’s

history.

f) Health & Insurance: Penny Stowell-Smith

(District Health Rep.)

Everyone should have received the new health plan

booklet, sent out earlier this year. On June 4-5 Penny

Stowell-Smith, Val Alcock, and Sue Clough will attend

the upcoming health workshop in Toronto. Any new

information regarding our health plan will be shared

upon their return. Best Doctors is an organization

whose services are new to our health care plan.

Those who have used it have found it useful in

getting personal health care answers. Questions

regarding your benefits can be answered by calling

Johnson Insurance directly or contacting one of your

three representatives.

g) RTO/ERO Charitable Foundation: Ruth Beninger

was absent, but submitted a written report, which

can be read in full on page 16 of the AGM Booklet.

Below is a summary.

The Foundation has a new mini-site which can be

accessed through the regular RTO/ERO website at

www.rto-ero.org or by going straight to the

Foundation landing page www.embrace-aging.ca.

Page 6: District 47 Vancouver Island · Penny Stowell-Smith Thanks Sue Clough 10. Presentation of June Szeman Memorial Award Introduction Martha Foster Presentation Bill Huzar 11. Door Prizes

The Foundation is pleased to be a supporting partner

of the Hamilton Seniors Isolation Impact Plan,

through our grant of $50,000. This grant will be used

to create a Social Participation Fund that helps

seniors with expenses related to accessing services

and activities in the community.

h) Pensions and Retirement Concerns: Debbie

Walker (District Rep.)

Debbie emphasized the importance of both spouses

having independent credit history to enable the

surviving spouse to obtain adequate credit from

financial institutions. To obtain specific information

about your personal circumstances, ask your own

financial institution how the death of a spouse would

affect the surviving spouse. Debbie also urged

members to check into having title insurance on your

house.

Motion 4: (Moved by Doreen Hall, seconded

by Penny Stowell-Smith) that Committee Reports be

accepted as presented. The motion was passed.

8. Introduction of Guest Speaker: Bill Huzar

introduced Martha Foster (President RTO/ERO

Provincial). Martha spoke about the challenges ahead

of the organization and the expansion of membership

to all educators in Canada. She mentioned an article

written by District Member Ken Lee, called

‘RTO in LaLa Land’ and thought it might be

resurrected. R.T.I.P. may be competition in the

future. Our services are better but we need to get

that idea out to potential members. Dealing with

seniors and health is an important focus. We now

have 120 members who are over 100 years old. For

the Foundation, research on seniors and keeping

alive the chair in Gerontology are important

initiatives. As mentioned previously in the Health

report, Best Doctors and 360 provide valuable

services for our members. As well, be aware of ‘Elder

Page 7: District 47 Vancouver Island · Penny Stowell-Smith Thanks Sue Clough 10. Presentation of June Szeman Memorial Award Introduction Martha Foster Presentation Bill Huzar 11. Door Prizes

7

Care’, which is a guidance program for seniors as

they transition to needing more care as they age.

Keep an eye on Federal Bill C27, which is legislation

that could result in ‘flex’ in the amount of pension

you would receive depending on market forces. It’s a

question of Target Benefits vs Defined Benefits.

RTO/ERO is opposed to this Bill and made the

Minister responsible aware of our stance. As for

Governance, the AGM will switch from the Fall

Senate to the Spring Senate because of legalities.

Although the new Executive Board will have the final

decision on matters pertaining to the

organization, ratification will still be required by the

Senate. The upcoming Fall Senate will be key to

these changes. O.T.I.P. approached us to come

together, but it would not be a good idea for our

organization. Questions/Concerns were raised from

the floor. Maret Sadem-Thompson stated the

importance of making connections with retiring

teachers.

Margot Lods warned of the danger of a take-over by

power-hungry individuals. Maret Sadem-Thompson

suggested we needed to be more ‘inclusive’ of new

members and welcome associate members as full

members.

Ron Hall thanked Martha Foster and

presented her with a small gift.

11. Grace-Words of Gratitude: Val Alcock said

Grace before our luncheon.

12. Special Presentation: A cake was shared, and

a donation made in honour of Irene McDonald

(Member Emeritus), who celebrates her 100th

birthday this year.

REPORTS

FINANCIAL: Rex Sharman, Treasurer

As you can see from the Statement of Income and

Expenditure, District Executive aimed for a balanced

budget for 2017. We started the year at $7,081.80

and aimed to finish the year with the same amount.

As you can also see from that Statement, we did not

achieve that — for a very noble reason. We

“overspent” the budget by $1412.27.

Most of our income and expenditure items came in

close to our budgeted amounts with two exceptions.

(1) On the revenue side, we had not budgeted for

receiving $4,000 in the STO (Service to

Others) category from RTO headquarters

in Toronto. I will not dwell on the details

as I believe this is better left to the

Mid/Upper Island Unit team led by Phil

Little to report on this. This STO grant

must be spent in the same year, and you

can see the offsetting expenditure in line

B10 of the Statement.

(2) The other exception shows in category B12

(Other) on the expenditure side. You should all be

aware that 2018 is the 50th anniversary of the

founding of RTO, and districts have been allocated a

Page 9: District 47 Vancouver Island · Penny Stowell-Smith Thanks Sue Clough 10. Presentation of June Szeman Memorial Award Introduction Martha Foster Presentation Bill Huzar 11. Door Prizes

9

grant of $2,000 to spend on a worthwhile project or

projects to mark this event and to publicize RTO.

Based on Barbara Strachan’s initiative and leadership,

our district initiated its project early (in 2017) with

the “assurance” from HQ that we would be

reimbursed in 2018, and I will leave it to Barbara to

report the details. Therefore, the district advanced

$1,965.47—an expenditure not budgeted for 2017—

to fund District 47’s project, and that amount

provides the bulk of our budget overrun.

Note, though, we overran by about $1,400 even though we expended $1,965 so the executive did keep tight control on its spending.

VICTORIA UNIT: Ron Hall, President I wish to express my sincere appreciation to all the

members of the Victoria Unit Executive for all the

time and work that they have contributed for the

benefit of our membership in the last year. The

newest members stepped into their roles very

smoothly and efficiently indeed. So thanks to

Andrea Rowan, Carol Steward, and Ken Lee for all

their help.

And we want to acknowledge the rest of the

executive members who continued on with serving

our unit so well; namely, Ken Schaffer, Margot Lods,

Barbara Strachan, Ruth Beninger, Ed Uhlig, Anna

Mary McIlwain, Sue Clough, and Archie McGugan.

Some very special thanks goes to Bill Huzar, who

covered two roles at once, taking on the duties of

District President for Gloria Humphrey when she

became ill, and staying on with membership duties.

We have been exploring a few prospects for this

year’s Service To Others Project, and we will select

one of them shortly.

One of the highlights from 2017 was the “To Hell

With The Bell” gathering in September, where our

guest speaker was MP Murray Rankin, who discussed

Medical Assistance In Dying. The other big event

was our Christmas Luncheon in December. Both

events were well attended, and we look forward to

seeing many our you at these events later this year!

MID/UPPER ISLAND UNIT: Penny Stowell-Smith,

President

Our Mid Island Unit continues to grow with the

addition of a few new members, and the welcome

Page 12: District 47 Vancouver Island · Penny Stowell-Smith Thanks Sue Clough 10. Presentation of June Szeman Memorial Award Introduction Martha Foster Presentation Bill Huzar 11. Door Prizes

12

addition of those who are willing to take on various

responsibilities within our Unit.

Each Unit is only successful if members are willing to

donate their time, and talents. A huge thank you to

all who’s expertise adds to our success of our Unit.

We continue to support The Breakfast Program at one

of the schools in Courtenay we raise money through

collections taken at each social event. Thank you, all

members, for your generosity.

The attendance at Social Events is also much

appreciated, as they are only as successful if well

attended.

A huge thank you to Bonnie McGlynn who executes

her role as Social conveyor with much thought and

diligence to ensure Social Events are interesting and

enjoyable. Bonnie planned a very well attended

Christmas party at the Nanaimo Golf Course this past

Christmas as well as a drop-in lunch on March 15,

and a tour of Shelter Point farm and distillery this

April.

Upcoming Events include; Lunch in Qualicum Beach

at the CView Restaurant on Thursday June 14, as well

as a continued with Hava Java drop in and coffee

social time at Haz Beans in Nanaimo on the last

Monday of each month. Please forward any ideas you

have for future Social Events to Bonnie or any

member of the Executive as well as any suggestions

that would be beneficial to our members.

MEMBERSHIP: Bill Huzar The membership of the district remains strong and

growing. There are 448 (431 last year) members in

the District with 258 in the Victoria Unit and 190 in

the Mid/Upper Island Unit.

COMMUNICATIONS: Jim Ross

The e-mail copy of our District newsletter is sent to

members who supply RTO/ERO District 47

communications committee with a current e-mail. If

you are not currently receiving the e-letter it may be

that you have changed service providers and have

not completed a change report. Your service provider

may have changed the process it follows for receiving

mass e-mails. You may have to check your Junk

Folder, or you may have to identify the e-mail as a

safe site. Some people have altered their e-mail

address to a generic e-mail to avoid some of these

problems. Examples of these e-mail addresses are

gmail, yahoo or iCloud.com.

If you would like members to be aware of upcoming

events, this information may be shared in the next

newsletter, which comes out the end of July. All

information must be submitted by July 1, to Jim Ross,

[email protected]. Visit us on the Internet at

District47.rto-ero.org

ARCHIVES: Darrell Grande

This year, 2017, is District 47’s tenth anniversary.

(The inaugural date for the district was January 1,

2007.)

The purpose of the District 47 Archives is to maintain

a historical record of significant events that have

occurred since the district’s inception. As District

Archivist for the past ten years, I have been

responsible for seeing that the data stored in our

Archives accurately reflects the history of our district

as well as the units.

Page 14: District 47 Vancouver Island · Penny Stowell-Smith Thanks Sue Clough 10. Presentation of June Szeman Memorial Award Introduction Martha Foster Presentation Bill Huzar 11. Door Prizes

14

When the Archives were first developed, it was

necessary to decide what data should be preserved.

The following is a list of categories within them:

• Correspondence and documents leading to the

formation of District 47 (i.e. letters, e-mails,

memoranda, minutes and expenses from planning

meetings);

• Agendas, Minutes and Treasurer’s Reports—

including proposed and actual Budgets—from all

District 47, Victoria Unit and Mid/Upper Island

Unit Executive Meetings;

• Agendas, Minutes, Financial Statements,

Booklets, photos (where available), names of

attendees (where available) and related

correspondence from all District 47, Victoria

Unit and Mid/Upper Island Unit AGM’s;

• Copies of all District 47 newsletters;

• Names and contact information for all

members of the District 47 and Unit

Executives, by year;

• Documents related to all Service to Others

Projects initiated by District 47 (i.e. grant

application forms, memoranda,

approval/denial letters, interim and final

reports);

• Membership Lists (including Change

Reports, monthly documents charting district

membership by age-gender and members 80+

each month);

• Documents related to the spring and fall

Senates (i.e. Minutes, Resolutions);

• The District 47 Constitution—from the initial

April, 2007 version through its revisions;

Page 15: District 47 Vancouver Island · Penny Stowell-Smith Thanks Sue Clough 10. Presentation of June Szeman Memorial Award Introduction Martha Foster Presentation Bill Huzar 11. Door Prizes

15

• Miscellaneous documents considered

significant, as well as records of awards and

recognition within the district and the units.

Unfortunately, there are several gaps in the Archives.

Specifically, we are missing the Agendas from the

Victoria Unit Executive Meetings from 2008 to 2015

as well as the list of attendees for the District 47 AGM

in 2007. It would also be advantageous to archive

any photos—preferably labelled—that were taken at

the various district and unit events (e.g. social

outings, unit and district AGM’s and THWTB.) Any

member who is able to provide these documents for

the Archives is asked to contact me.

Finally, a word of thanks to the members of the

Victoria and Mid/Upper Island Unit executives for

providing the documents for the Archives. Without

their help, we wouldn’t have been able to collect such

an extensive record of District 47’s history.

HEALTH AND INSURANCE: Penny Stowell-Smith

There is nothing new to Report at this time as the

annual Health workshop is coming up in June.

Representatives from District 47 will attend on June

3rd and 4th of this year. A report will be submitted

and will be available to all members through the

newsletter published over the summer.

In the meantime; any concerns can be forwarded to

either your Unit or District representative. You may

also refer to your booklet or call Johnson directly if

your question is something that applies to only you or

your family member.

I am hearing some very positive feedback from

members that have used the organization Best

Page 16: District 47 Vancouver Island · Penny Stowell-Smith Thanks Sue Clough 10. Presentation of June Szeman Memorial Award Introduction Martha Foster Presentation Bill Huzar 11. Door Prizes

16

Doctors. An explanation and how to reach them can

be found on page 24 of your Insurance Plans Booklet

As summer approaches, don’t forget to ensure that

you have a record of when you left your province of

residence, and the required time of 90 days after any

medical incident.

It is also a good idea to carry the separate Out-of

Province/ Canada Travel Booklet when leaving your

province of residency.

RTO CHARITABLE FOUNDATION: Ruth Beninger

The Foundation will again be in attendance at Spring

Senate to share what is doing to improve the aging

experience through its granting program and to

champion our mission to enhance the lives of aging

adults.

In March, Foundation Representatives from all

Districts, were invited to take part in a conference call

as a means to keep us connected over the distances.

A newsletter update will be issued in June, but sadly,

not in time for this report. Look for that update in

your next RTO District newsletter.

In recognition of their extraordinary support to the

RTO/ERO Foundation, Jo-Anne Sobie presented a

plaque to Mi5 Print & Digital in March, who provides

in-kind support to the Foundation in the production of

print materials, including our In Memory and In

Honour cards, brochures and forms. Thanks to this

support, the Foundation is able to direct more of our

donors’ funds to delivering on our mission promise.

PENSIONS AND RETIREMENT CONCERNS: Debbie

Walker

Strategic Plan

• The Resource Paper developed by the PRCC to explain the different types of pensions, in plain language, has been sent to the Provincial Executive/Board of Directors for approval.

• Fact sheets on a variety of topics are no longer available on the RTO website. The PRCC feels that many of the topics would be best addressed by providing a web link to an authoritative source so that the information would be up-to-date.

• The PRCC has created "Your Road to Retirement: A Self-Assessment Tool" as a follow-up to Retirement Planning Workshops. Once approved by the Provincial Executive/Board of Directors it will be shared at up-coming workshops.

Pensions • Bill C-27 federal legislation to amend the

pension Benefits Standard Act, 1985, continues to be a concern because it allows current employees to give up their guaranteed Defined Benefits for non-guaranteed Target Benefits. Retirees within these groups could find their benefits reduced or eventually find themselves with an unfunded plan.

Page 19: District 47 Vancouver Island · Penny Stowell-Smith Thanks Sue Clough 10. Presentation of June Szeman Memorial Award Introduction Martha Foster Presentation Bill Huzar 11. Door Prizes

• Effective January 1, 2018 OTPP completed the restoration of inflation protection for teachers who retired after 2009. Pension credits earned before 2010 remain fully inflation-protected.

• The Ontario government is modifying the Ontario Pension Benefits Act to address issues of solvency deficiency and surplus.

Pension Concerns • The PRCC is reviewing the literature

concerning social isolation for seniors and will focus on this topic at their next workshop.

Political Advocacy: Phil Little

I am on the executive of the M.U.I.U. as well

as a member of the District 47 executive.

Beginning September 2017, I was appointed

to a Standing Committee of R.T.O. to provide

direction and advice to senior staff. The

committee composed of members of R.T.O.

from different districts meets on a regular

basis, usually quarterly to report to the

Provincial Executive. The committee deals with

a variety of issues raised by the executive or

by members in the districts to advise the

executive and to liaise with districts.

R.T.O. is a non-partisan organization and thus

does not nor can it support or endorse political

parties. It seeks to advocate for its members

and for seniors in general. The committee

seeks to advocate for positive changes in

society affecting retirees and seniors.

Page 20: District 47 Vancouver Island · Penny Stowell-Smith Thanks Sue Clough 10. Presentation of June Szeman Memorial Award Introduction Martha Foster Presentation Bill Huzar 11. Door Prizes

20

At this time in Ontario there is a concerted

effort in the pre-election period as Political

Advocacy representatives and programs seek

to address issues important to our members

with all political parties. RTO does not support

political parties but it does support “policies”

that are good for our members and seniors.

RTO is willing to ask the tough questions to all

political parties and their candidates and to

inform our members of the responses

received. One obvious example is support for

“Public Education”.

However Political Advocacy is not just

something to think about in the months before

a Provincial or Federal election. This is a

constant effort to become aware of trends,

movements, pushes, and initiatives that can

affect members and seniors either for the

better or the worse. As members of RTO we

have retired from teaching but not from life,

and we continue to have much to offer not

only to our “golden” age peers but also to

society as a whole. There is much that can be

done by individual members, as well as

districts, to help raise awareness of important

issues and to influence the policy makers. Our

district made an attempt a few years ago

during a teacher’s strike to influence both the

government and the teacher’s union.

In September 2017 RTO/ERO executive and

staff visited Queen’s Park to meet with

politicians and to present “Vibrant Voices” –

important advocacy issues including:

• Age-Friendly Communities

• Bill 33: An act to amend the Long-Term

Care Homes Act

Page 21: District 47 Vancouver Island · Penny Stowell-Smith Thanks Sue Clough 10. Presentation of June Szeman Memorial Award Introduction Martha Foster Presentation Bill Huzar 11. Door Prizes

21

• Bill C-27: An act to amend the Pension

Benefits Standards Act

• Water

• Elder Abuse

• Geriatric Training

• Pharmacare

• Lack of Affordable Housing for Seniors

RTO can at the same time learn from and

support initiatives of other organizations that

also promote well-being and safety for seniors.

For example, the BCGEU raised concerns this

past March about the acquisition by a Chinese

insurance conglomerate that is acquiring

senior care facilities in BC. With increased

privatization in a profit driven industry there

are concerns about the level of care that

would be provided and the quality of the

delivery of health services with foreign

ownership.

On its website RTO provides excellent

information and suggestions on the topics

highlighted by the Vibrant Voices initiative.

Project Service to Others: Phil

Little

RTO/ERO proudly operates a grant program

for its 48 Districts, providing $100,000 to

sponsor local community projects. Through

Project – Service to Others (STO), Districts

apply for individual projects that support local,

Page 22: District 47 Vancouver Island · Penny Stowell-Smith Thanks Sue Clough 10. Presentation of June Szeman Memorial Award Introduction Martha Foster Presentation Bill Huzar 11. Door Prizes

22

national and international programs that often

involve children and/or disadvantaged groups,

to a maximum of $4,000 per project.

Our District 47 has been successful in past

years in being able to present to RTO/ERO

projects of great value that give testimony to

our concern and interest for the communities

where we have chosen to live our senior lives.

In 2017 a project was presented successfully,

and it received the maximum grant of $4000

to support an early childhood education

project with refugee children at the Central

Vancouver Island Multicultural Society

(CVIMS) in Nanaimo. This came after an

influx of Syrian refugees, along with other

refugees who came through other regular

sponsorship avenues. Adults received

programs such as language and counselling,

school age children went to schools, but the

pre-school group did not have designated

programs or funding. The CVIMS of Nanaimo

had staff that were willing to provide a

program for these youngest of refugees while

their parents could attend programs. However

there was a serious shortage of materials with

which to work.

This is where RTO/ERO came in and through

the Service to Others grant we were able to

provide for the teachers and daycare workers

their “wish list” of toys and education support

materials to benefit these pre-school children.

Central Vancouver Island Multicultural Center

in Nanaimo there was the formal presentation

of the cheque by Mid-Upper Island Unit

President Penny Stowell-Smith to the CVIMS

staff and Board of Directors. Also attending

were a number of members of the executive of

the MUIU – RTO association.

An essential component of the project is

involvement of members. Even previous to

this project proposal some of our RTO

members were already involved as volunteers

at the CVIMS working with and helping our

newest citizens to adapt to their new country.
