COVID-19 RESEARCH DONATION
RTOERO donates $20,000 to COVID-19 research
Toronto General Hospital Research Institute’s COVID-19 research project is the recipient of RTOERO’s annual $10,000 donation for 2020. Because of the importance of this research, the board of directors will match the donation -- bringing our total contribution to $20,000.
Nominated by District 24 Scarborough and East York, the donation will help to support COVID-19 research in the following areas:
- Antiviral and vaccine research
- New diagnostics and therapeutics
- Redeployment of research labs to support testing and quick development of new test measures
- Rapid production scale-up of ventilator technologies, masks and other essential health safety equipment using innovative 3-D printing technologies

Welcome to the District 24 Scarborough and East York website of
RTOERO – the Retired Teachers of Ontario
Our name hearkens back to our roots in 1968 when we were first established to serve the needs of retired teachers of Ontario. Since then we have extended our membership to welcome all Ontario educational support staff from schools and school boards, as well as college and university faculty.
Most RTOERO members live in Ontario and are affiliated with one of 51 Districts into which the organization is divided, including Districts in British Columbia, the Prairies, the Atlantic Provinces, and the Province of Quebec. Members may belong to any district, and have the option of becoming a correspondence member of a second district. If you are eligible for membership upon retirement, you can become an associate member today - at no cost until you retire. At the District level, members participate in social, travel and leisure opportunities, political advocacy and District Executive leadership roles. At the Provincial level, members are actively involved in the Forum (the governing body of RTOERO), the Board of Directors and several committees.
The City of Toronto is divided into four districts:
