Welcome
Langara College Association of Retirees (LCAR) is a network of all former faculty, staff, and administrators who have retired from Langara College.
LCAR was created to allow Langara College retirees to stay connected with each other through the pursuit of activities of common interest, and to facilitate retirees’ continued engagement with the College and its students.
We congratulate and welcome new retirees. We invite you to explore this website to learn more about LCAR, our activities and resources. Please register as an LCAR member to receive information about member benefits, and to hear of our upcoming events.
