Getting Here From There

Getting Here From There

Do you find it hard to get to an NBSRT meeting? If you live on Deer Island, Campobello, or Grand Manan that’s perfectly understandable. In most cases, getting to mainland New Brunswick involves travelling on ferries that are affected by wind, weather, and tides. If you live on Campobello Island, you even need a passport to attend NBSRT meetings in mainland NB because you have to travel through the US State of Maine to cross into New Brunswick using the international border crossing at St Stephen. Suddenly, mainlanders having to drive 30 minutes to the next community to attend an NBSRT function doesn’t seem like a hardship. Hats off to our Charlotte Branch members.

Group Insurance Rates for 2026The New Brunswick Society of Retired Teachers (NBSRT), on behalf of the NBTF Group Insurance Trustees, is forwarding the 2026 Group Insurance Renewal Rates directly to its members to ensure that everyone has timely access to this important information. Although the NBTF Group Insurance Trustees have already mailed a communiqué outlining the updated rates, the ongoing rotating postal strikes across the province may mean that delivery cannot be guaranteed before the new rates take effect with the December 24th pension deposit. Because many members rely on this information to understand and plan for changes to their monthly deductions, NBSRT felt it was essential to provide an additional, reliable method of communication. By circulating the rates through our own channels, we aim to prevent delays, reduce uncertainty, and ensure that all members—regardless of postal service disruptions—receive clear, accurate details about the upcoming adjustments. This proactive approach reflects NBSRT’s commitment to keeping members well-informedCheck your email for this information.This information is already available in the MEMBERS ONLY – GROUP INSURANCE section of our website ...
