Access to Information Webinar

November 29, 2010

Managing access to information requests by public sector organizations has never been more challenging than it is today. Complex public-private sector business arrangements, growing expectations for access by the public and increasing volumes of electronic records are all making it difficult to navigate access to information laws in the context of the real world. As a result, I thought that a one hour complimentary webinar would help! I hope you can attend.

What topics will be covered?

  • Overview of access to information 101: the basics
  • The 3 vantage points: public bodies, applicants & third parties
  • Review of recent cases/headlines
  • Identifying key legal and PR landmines
  • Discussion of trends in access to information
  • Practical tips for managing requests in a cost-effective manner

Who should attend?

Public bodies who are subject to access to information laws, private-sector organizations who regularly deal with public bodies and individuals/organizations who routinely initiate access to information requests under public sector access to information laws. 

When is the webinar? 

Wednesday, January 26th, 2011 from 1 – 2 PM (CST)

Canada’s New Anti-Spam Legislation: Webinar

March 10, 2010

Given the level of interest and need for businesses to learn about Canada’s proposed anti-spam legislation, I’ll be offering the following webinar on April 14th from 2:00 – 3:00 PM (CST) / 3:00 – 4:00 PM (EST).  Here are the details…

Canada’s proposed anti-spam legislation, called the Electronic Consumer Protection Act, is about to fundamentally alter online marketing activities in Canada. It’s perhaps the most comprehensive type of anti-spam legislation in the world, which will regulate commercial electronic messages and impose stiff new anti-spyware provisions. It’ll also amend Canada’s PIPEDA and Competition Act. Is your business ready?

Learn more during this webinar, at which time we’ll survey the following:

  • The ECPA‘s scope
  • New consent obligations, and related exemptions
  • Anti-spyware provisions
  • Amendments to PIPEDA
  • Amendments to the Competition Act
  • The regulatory enforcement regime
  • Penalties and the new private right of action
  • Steps you can take now to prepare for the ECPA
