Date: May 25, 2026
Time: 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. MST

Join us for part 3 of our “RVTs Blazing the Trail” webinar series as Amber Cook covers what self-employment actually means for you,

how to structure and register your business, and how to stay on the right side of the CRA. We will cover everything from GST registration and income tax, to setting your rate, liability insurance, WCB, contracts, invoicing, and the professional obligations that don't change just because your working relationship does.

This session is approved for 1 hours of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credit for RVTs by the ABVMA.

This webinar will be recorded.

Time: 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. MST

Track Series Registration Fees

ABVTA’s Track Series are specialized, multi-session learning experiences designed to support deeper skill development and focused professional growth.

To help sustain these programs, a small registration fee applies to Track Series events for both members and non-members, whether attending live or accessing on-demand recordings.

This contribution helps offset program costs and allows ABVTA to continue offering high-quality speakers, meaningful content, and engaging continuing professional development for our community. All other ABVTA webinars continue to be complimentary for members. We appreciate your understanding and support.
