Opticians Council of Canada

The Opticians Association of Canada (OAC) is composed of representatives from all 10 Canadian provinces and acts as an opticians’ advocacy group. As an example, the OAC undertakes initiatives related to education – including primary education, continuing education and advanced practice. The essential thrust of the OAC is to take a pro-active interest in all matters that have the potential to affect Canadian opticians both positively and negatively and to promote a favourable outcome for opticians. Funding for the OAC is based upon membership dues and monies raised from member benefit initiatives.
