Calgary Public Teachers CARE – Rebate Program
The objective of the Calgary Public Teachers CARE program is to show that teachers are active, engaged professionals who care about the community and support charitable causes.
Calgary Public Teachers ATA Local 38 is offering its members an opportunity to receive a rebate for their participation in support of registered charities in Alberta. Rebates are available under two different categories. Teachers may apply to the fund multiple times in each calendar year up to a maximum of $50 per person per year. Applications may be to either of the categories, but members may not apply to both categories of reimbursement for the same activity. Use a separate form for each activity application.
Option A) Charitable Athletic Event Rebate
Under this program, “Charitable Athletic Events” are defined as events that take place in Alberta where a teacher participates in a physical activity in order to fundraise for, or promote the cause of, a registered charity. In this case, Calgary Public Teachers will rebate up to $50 of the registration fee for participating in charitable athletic events.
Option B) Voluntary Service Rebate
If a member actively volunteers their service for a registered charity in Alberta, Calgary Public Teachers will reimburse that member’s financial donation to that same charity to a maximum of $50 per charity per calendar year.
