What do Emeriti in Canada do?

In Canada, the end of a mandatory retirement age for university and college professors in the 2000s caught long-term faculty who were approaching retirement off guard.Rather than having to retire by age 65, senior faculty will choose a time that seems right for them.They will also have a clearer choice about what to do in retirement.Judith Hall's published studies identify three general paths taken by senior professors or professors emeriti in the field of pediatrics.Each path she describes suggests the strengthening of ties to various communities.This begs the question: Are university retiree associations regarded as beneficial communities worthy of the support of either faculty retirees or their respective universities?Also discussed here is the example of a successful model of a faculty retiree association: the Emeritus College of the University of British Columbia.
