WHY IS
VISION CANADA
SUCH AN IMPORTANT
INDUSTRY EVENT?
Vision Canada is not just about innovation
in the optical industry. It is also not simply
about collecting credits to meet minimum
requirements to maintain our professional
status. It's really about best practices! This
event is the core or foundation of the profession. It weaves excellence into our daily
activities... it motivates opticians to realize
their true potential. It unlocks comradery
and a sense of community. The excitement
and passion generated is our reward here
at the OAC.
We have an opportunity
to present our unique
products and services
live to the ECPs and
opticians. It’s critical to
our business to be able to
talk with them in person
and answer
questions.
Robert Dalton, Executive Director
Opticians Association of Canada
I like to support opticianry. This event is
Grant Larsen, President
valuable because there are employers here
Digital ECP
that we can talk to about our services as well
as the opticians who are job seekers. We can
help them connect with those opportunities.
Trudi Charest, President
Jobs4ECPs
In this industry it’s important to try new
things and challenge yourself. These are
challenging times and this event offers a new
look at ways to adapt. It stimulates creativity
and I always go back home feeling energized.

"I found the student event on Friday
evening to be especially motivating.
We announced our new 2015 Students
of Vision Scholarship Program with
the OAC that night, and afterward there
was a lot of talk among the students as
they brainstormed solutions and ideas
to our 'Millennial Challenge.'"
