Why your support matters.
Every contribution is an investment in a campaign run by neighbours. It pays for lawn signs, printed material, and the door-knocking it takes to reach every street in Ward 3.
Under Ontario law a municipal campaign cannot take party money or corporate money. It runs on people. Thank you for being one of them.
How to give a contribution
Two ways: e-transfer or cheque. If you would rather talk it through first, email the campaign and Alasoba will walk you through it herself.
E-transfer
The quickest way to contribute. Send your e-transfer to:
Put your full name and address in the message field. The campaign needs both to issue your receipt and to meet its filing obligations.
Cheque
Cheques are welcome, made payable to the campaign. Email us and we will arrange a pickup, or send you an address to post it to.
Nothing over $25 can be given in cash, so please do not send cash in the post.
Three steps
- Read the rules below. They come from the Municipal Elections Act, not from the campaign, and a contribution that breaks them has to be returned. Two minutes now saves an awkward conversation later.
- Fill in the form. Alasoba cannot accept a contribution or issue a receipt without your name and address.
- Send it. E-transfer, or reply to your confirmation email to arrange a cheque. You will get a receipt once it arrives.
Before you contribute
These are the Province’s rules, not the campaign’s. If any of them are unclear, ask before you send anything.
- You must be a resident of Ontario. Contributions from outside the province cannot be accepted and have to be returned.
- Individuals only. Corporations and trade unions are not allowed to contribute to municipal candidates in Ontario, so the money has to come from a personal account rather than a business one.
- $1,200 is the maximum any one person may give to this campaign — and $5,000 is the maximum across all candidates running for Orillia City Council.
- It has to be your own money. You cannot give on someone else’s behalf, and you cannot be reimbursed for it.
- Nothing over $25 in cash. Anything larger must be e-transfer, cheque or money order, so the contribution is traceable.
- Contributions are not tax deductible. Municipal contributions in Ontario carry no tax credit — but you will still receive a receipt for every one.
- Over $100 becomes public. Your name and address are filed with the City in the campaign’s financial statement, which anyone may inspect. If you would rather not appear in that record, keep your total at $100 or less.

Tell Alasoba to expect it
This form does not take payment. It tells the campaign your contribution is on the way and gives Alasoba the details she is legally required to record. You send the money separately, by e-transfer or cheque.
Not in a position to give?
That is completely fine, and it does not make you any less useful. An hour of door-knocking, a lawn sign on your street, or one conversation with a neighbour who did not know there was an election on — any of those will move this campaign further than a small cheque would.
