Not Canada wide numbers, but Ontario Teacher's Pension Plan reports that average age for retirment of teachers in Ontario is 58.

Craig Smith, president of the local unit of the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario, says there is no reason to force a teacher who enjoys the job to retire, but working past 65 is #unusual.

Figures from the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan back him up. The average retirement age for teachers in Ontario is 58 and the average starting pension is $45,000 a year.

London District Catholic school board has 123 employees over 65 but board officials say only about a dozen are permanent, full-time classroom teachers.
