Advice to Meet with your MLA
If you request a meeting with your MLA through our Contact Your MLA page, the ABDA will be notified when you receive a response. We will help you prepare for your meeting.
A couple things that are helpful to know in advance:
Meeting your MLA is an opportunity to talk to them about your Depot’s work in your community and the overall success of Alberta’s beverage container management system.
The ABDA is already communicating with MLAs across Alberta, and has sent each one a letter about the potential effects of Alberta’s approach to EPR on Depots and Alberta communities.
Your role is to help your MLA understand why the Depot system is more than just a collection system for beverage containers and why it should be protected.
To further prepare, please review our Key Messages and Anticipated Discussion Topics PDF which you can download below. It provides a short script you can use to guide the conversation with your MLA as well as discussion topics you can anticipate your MLA may touch on and messages that you can share.
