Sign up for updates
Join our list for monthly email updates containing retirement celebrations, deaths in our community, upcoming events and volunteer opportunities. If you are already receiving email updates from the retiree group, you do not need to sign up again.
Please forward the email you received to other retirees who are not yet on the list so that they can join by hitting the subscribe button below!
Join our Facebook Group
If you’re on Facebook, join our group to connect with former colleagues. Share and receive advice on travel, retiree benefits and more.
We're also looking for volunteers to help us manage the group!
Tech tips for new retirees
Your ocsb.ca email address will expire two weeks after your retirement date, so you will need to create a new email account. You can use any provider you want, but if you want to stick with Google, you can set up a personal Gmail account. You may also want to transfer your contacts from your ocsb.ca email to your new personal Gmail account.
Support CEFO
Consider making a donation to the Catholic Education Foundation of Ottawa to alleviate the effects of poverty on our students. Together, we can ensure all students have the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed.
Events
When you join our mailing list, you will hear about upcoming events, socials and ways to keep in touch with former colleagues both in person and virtually. We continue to monitor the interest as COVID has halted all plans for group gatherings. We will re-visit this in Jan. 2023.
Volunteer in an OCSB school
After 2 years of asking for virtual volunteers, our schools are once again asking for 'in school' volunteers. Connecting with the schools, after you have completed the necessary steps will allow you to help out in the areas of greatest need.
