CBSA Retirees' Association / l'Association des retraités de l'ASFC - Membership Matters

As you know, retiring from work brings on a major life transition that most people, at some point in their life, will experience.

For many of us, after having completed a long and fulfilling career with the CBSA, we’re sure to be looking forward to retirement as a time to relax, enjoy the pastimes and hobbies we’ve long anticipated, and spend time with loved ones. But retirement can also bring on feelings of separation, from both profession and colleagues, and a lack of purpose in one’s life.

However, retirement also presents an ideal opportunity to give back to society and make a positive impact. Volunteering in retirement not only benefits others but also provides retirees with a sense of purpose, fulfillment, and social connection. And with a wealth of knowledge and experience, our retirees are in a unique position to contribute.

At the CBSA RA, we believe in the power of giving back. As a member, you can get involved in meaningful volunteer work that makes a difference. We offer a variety of ways to contribute:

Board Members – assist in leading the CBSA RA towards a vibrant and sustainable future.
Content Contributors – provide enriching content for our members on the CBSA RA website and social media platforms.
Social Media Coordinators – assist in leading the CBSA RA’s social media environments by planning and producing digital content.
Strategic Advisors – provide strategic advice and guidance to the CBSA RA Board in advancing your RA.

Volunteering with our association not only benefits those you help but also provides a sense of purpose and fulfillment in your retirement years. It’s a wonderful way to stay engaged, meet new people, and continue to make a difference.

And for you, as a member, belonging to the CBSA RA means being part of a community connected by our nation’s border, united by our shared service, and strengthened by our proud past. Here’s why being a member matters:

Care: we care for each other’s physical and mental well-being.

Learning: we provide opportunities for continuous learning.
Engagement: we provide opportunities to stay connected.
Purpose: we provide opportunities where you can continue to contribute to our community.
