QPARSE English Home

We are retired teachers, administrators, professionals and support personnel who have been employees of an English school board or private school in Quebec.

We organize social, educational and community service activities with our members.

We represent the interests of seniors through our participation in CART (the Canadian Association of Retired Teachers).
