MURA is an association for all retirees from McGill University. Membership is free if your employee affiliation at the time of retirement was with a McGill staff association or union that underwrites the cost of membership in MURA for their members. Those groups are MUNACA, MUNASA, MAUT (nominal fee), and SEU 800 Trades Downtown.
If you are a McGill retiree, and did not belong to one of these groups, the annual membership fee for 2025-26 is $30 due on September 1st of each year.
Retirees who held an academic appointment (whether they were previously a member of MAUT or not) now have the option of joint membership in MURA and the MAUT Retired Members (MAUT-RM). View MAUT-RM website.
Your partner/spouse is eligible for free associate membership that entitles them to participate in activities and events at the same price as regular members. This does not apply to the McGill gym discount and associate members are not eligible to vote at the MURA annual general meeting. If your partner/spouse would like to receive communications, please provide the person's name and email address on the membership form.
