Membership
Membership in the SFURA is automatic for any person retired from employment at SFU as shown by the records of the Human Resources Office.
Membership is free as of the vote at the SFURA AGM in Fall 2022.
Other Membership Categories
Please note that the following membership categories do not include the SFU parking pass as that is connected to the HR system for verification of retirement as an SFU employee.
- The surviving spouse or partner of a deceased retiree is eligible to become a member.
- The Board also accepts applications from former employees who are over 55 and left SFU before retirement from the university, and from any others who are over 55, worked at SFU and were paid from other funds such as research grants. Please email retirees@sfu.ca if you think you might be eligible.
Email Lists
We manage three email lists:
- sfu-retirees-info@sfu.ca is used by SFURA board members to send announcements to over 1400 retirees. This list automatically includes the @sfu.ca email addresses of all SFU retirees.
- sfura-activities@lists.sfu.ca is used by Board members to send more frequent information about upcoming happenings, and/or to send messages to your non-SFU email address if that's your preference. If you're not already on this list, click on to join it.
- retirees-forum@lists.sfu.ca is used by members to exchange views and information with each other. If you're not already on this list, click on to join it.
