The Public Information Committee meets every last Tuesday of the month at AA Calgary Central Office, 4021 – 4 St. S.E. Calgary, Alberta
The Public Information (PI) Committee is much like all of AA, where the primary purpose of members involved with PI service is to carry the AA message to the alcoholic who still suffers; they do this by educating the general public of the benefits of Alcoholics Anonymous as a resource in the community.
Working together, members of a PI committee convey AA information to the general public through activities like:
- Giving AA information talks at schools and civic organization meetings.
- Providing AA literature to schools and offices.
- Insuring local media has accurate information and providing them with AA public service announcements.
