Membership

Join us

The UVRA allows you to continue your relationship with the University. This relationship may include opportunities for members to mentor, consult and otherwise contribute to the University community in a variety of ways. We are a non-profit organization registered under the Society Act; a volunteer group which depends on the efforts of and suggestions from our members.

The UVRA represents your interests with the University. Many benefits which are now available to all retired UVic employees initially were negotiated with the University by the UVRA.
