It’s easy to join the BCGREA!

There are two types of memberships. Please read the descriptions and then make the appropriate selection in the Membership Application Form below.

Annual Membership Dues are $25 per member. Spouses can be included in membership for a combined total of $40 per couple.

Active Members
Active Members are persons receiving a pension from the Public Service Pension Plan administered by the British Columbia Pension Corporation, and/or their spouses.

Many members join to stay informed about government retirement health benefits, including programs in British Columbia that provide retirement health insurance and health insurance for retired government employees, supporting long-term well-being.

Associate Members
Associate Members are persons, or their spouses, receiving a pension from a plan administered by the British Columbia Pension Corporation, other than the Public Service Pension Plan.

Associate Members enjoy the same opportunities to connect, learn, and stay updated on changes related to government retirement benefits and other supports that matter in retirement.
