Forming an Alberta Association of Dental Technology
A presentation was given to the Membership at the AGM regarding the possibility of starting a Provincial Association of Dental Technology.

Major benefits of forming an association include:
- Establishment of a Fee Guide
- Public Awareness Campaign
- Social Activities
- Group Benefits
Anyone who is interested in helping to organize or who would be interested in joining an association can get in touch at abassociationofdentaltech@gmail.com.

Important information
RE: Work-share program
Dear member,
During these challenging economic times, many Dental Laboratories are finding it difficult to remain profitable even after going through a series of layoffs and/or reduction in the number of employee hours of work. With that being said, the College of Dental Technologists has recently become aware of a Work share program offered by the Government of Canada that provides for income support to allow Employers to retain their employees.
More information regarding the program can be found on Service Canada’s website at:
