ODs in NDP Ridings
To those doctors who live in an NDP riding, we are holding off on contacting the opposition MLAs.
In the interim, if you want to look up a UCP MLA where you have your clinic, or a UCP MLA who is close by in your community/city/town, please feel free to reference the materials in the “Reaching out to your UCP MLA” and let them hear your concerns. Just adjust the letter to indicate you are a concerned optometrists or your clinic is in their riding, etc.
If, and when, we need you to reach out to NDP MLAs specifically, we will send you some information.
