Classified Ads, Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and Library
Starting in 2024, the ABVMA Members’ Magazine will be produced quarterly, with issues released in January, April, July and October. The magazine will still be available in print and digital format.
The other major change is that the Continuing Professional Development and Classified Ads section will no longer be published in the magazine and will only be available online.
ABVMA is excited that these changes present opportunities to create a robust, sustainable publication for members.
NOTE: ABVMA members purchase classified ads and gain CPD approval for CPD events through their member portal. Please log in and click on ‘Purchase a Classified Ad’ or ‘CPD Approval for your Organization’s CPD event’.
For non-ABVMA members and guests, the first time you use this website you will create a guest profile using ‘Create Guest Login To Purchase Classified Ad or For Continuing Professional Development Approval’ to create a guest login account. After registering you will see your Guest Portal which shows buttons for ‘Purchase a Classified Ad’ and ‘CPD Approval for your Organization’s CPD event’. After you have created your guest profile, you can log in any time using the ‘Member Login’ to purchase classified ads or apply for CPD approval for your organization’s event.

Classified Ads
Classified Ads are offered for several categories. Click Purchase a Classified Ad or Classified Tutorials to see pricing and category information. The ABVMA is unable to post classified ads on behalf of practices and/or members. The ABVMA reserves the right to refuse any advertisement. If you encounter any difficulties, please email: leeanne.winter@abvma.ca, with all relevant information (such as: classified ad ID number, ABVMA invoice number, payment amount, etc.). Alternatively, please call 1-800-404-2862 or 780-489-5007 with the same information.
The system does not allow for use of the following: bullet points, paragraph returns or emojis.
Small modifications to ads will only be considered to address missing or incorrect contact information such as practice name and/or contact information (phone, email, website).
*Due to an extremely high volume of requests to modify existing ads, and the administrative costs associated with them - the ABVMA will no longer accommodate requests to re-word or re-write existing ads.
Classifieds cannot be renewed and are required to be resubmitted. Due to system capacities, no exceptions can be made for ads over 1,200 characters.
