Political Event Attendance
The AAO is on the lookout for political events taking place in our constituencies across Alberta. These events provide excellent opportunities to discuss the merits of Optometry and raise awareness with political candidates.
The rules regarding contributions to political parties state that only a person who is ordinarily resident in Alberta may make a contribution to a political entity.
Corporations, unincorporated associations, and organizations are prohibited from making contributions. This also includes trade unions and employee organizations.
Thus, if you attend a local political party event which requires payment, you will have to pay for the ticket and receive the tax receipt from the respective party. No reimbursement can come from the AAO.
