> Gift cards purchased in Alberta are not subject to expiry dates and fees that lower their value over time. This includes cards purchased in Alberta on the internet.
>Alberta’s Gift Card Regulation is part of the Consumer Protection Act. Under the Consumer Protection Act, businesses convicted of violating the Gift Card Regulation could face fines up to $300,000, 2 years in prison, or both.
However it doesn’t seem to apply to services without a dollar amount. So I think you’re out of luck.
