Ian Oostindie
for Sylvan Lake Council
Thank you for encouraging me to serve in public office.
I seriously debated putting this donation request on-line.
I promise that I will not accept any donation beyond what I can spending.
​
There are many associated costs in putting myself forward. This website is the least of the expenses since I built it myself.
Even 'free' FaceBook tries to gain boosting fees which I have avoided.
Print, distribution and physical signage rise to the top of the expenses and cost thousands for candidates. A small sign is ~$30 and some quote higher!)
​
I appreciate every donation amount that I have received as every dollar helps my family. Nothing is tax-deductible for municipal candidates.
To avoid all additional administration fees for a small campaign, it is best to
e-transfer directly to my gmail account seen in the footer on each page.
Note, I must ask for name and address for the public record for any donation above $50.00
to comply with the Elections Act. All donations are receipted.
Donations and expenses are kept in a separate TD bank account
which has been recorded with the Sylvan Lake Elections Returning Officer.
​
Thank you for your trust and support - IAN
