There was only a small group at Wally’s on November 11, 2025. BUT the Premier made a special appearance!

We’re pleased to announce that Terri Smith has been appointed President of the CSA Retirees’ Club.

Terri worked at CSA Rexdale from 1987 to 2010 starting as a Systems Analyst and Manager in IRG (Information Resources Group), then as part of the CGI consulting team, and later as a Manager and Director in Corporate IT.

Post retirement, Terri joined the executive committee of the Retirees’ Club in 2011. She updated the Club’s website and is the webmaster for the http://www.csaretirees.org site.

Terri replaces Brian McCran who stepped down as President in October. During Brian’s tenure he guided the Club through the challenging COVID lockdown finding new ways for members to socialize by leading monthly Zoom sessions, and introducing summer picnics. He revitalized activities post COVID and continues to plan events for the club. Brian was also instrumental in revising the Club’s guidelines and in bringing renewed structure to our committee. THANK YOU BRIAN!

The Retirees’ Club Executive Committee consists of Terri Smith, Brian McCran, Daniel Barbini (Treasurer), Mel Doig (Recording Secretary), Susan Morley, Kris Jones and Chiu Wong.

The Club executive can be reached by sending an email to csaretirees.info@gmail or by leaving a message on the “Contact Us” page.

Pack of wolves, murder of crows, litter of kittens … every group has a name. What should we call this group of inspectors? It certainly conjures up all sorts of memories. Are you in the photo? Do you recognize anyone? Do you know the date and occasion of the photo? Please share your thoughts.

Checkout these screenshots of the November 12th Zoom Social. We had 11 participants who spent up to 2 hours sharing thoughts on Remembrance Day, moving, where to buy the best Italian delicacies, a guitar collection, latest sewing projects, CSA memories, and more!

We look forward to holding another Zoom Social.

As our kids say, here’s a “shout out” to ALL CSA Retirees.  There’s a joke that goes like this… How many Torontonians does it take to change a light bulb?  None, because the world revolves around us!  We don’t really believe that, but we know that we’re Toronto centric, so we need your input.  Contact us using the “Contact Us” tab, or by e-mail at CSAretirees.info@gmail.com.
