EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR - IMPORTANT MESSAGE
The Opticians Association of Canada communicates regularly with all members. In our database there are options for communication preferences. The general default has been in the OFF position. This has created difficulty for a large number of our members who are not receiving information regarding webinars and other important communications.
Going forward this option will be set to ON for all optician members. You can easily manually turn it off by " unsubscribing" or going into your profile and turning the option to the OFF position.
The OAC remains dedicated to never sharing information with outside agencies. However, we will from time to time help communicate industry messages for our partners who help to support our events and delivery of services. We are very committed to delivering services to all our optician members and really appreciate your support. Stay safe and well.
