But if you work for a private sector organization and haven’t yet signed up for the federal Privacy Commissioner‘s e-newsletter entitled Privacy Perspectives, I’d suggest you do.   It contains great information and helps to stay on top of things.

If you’re in Manitoba and work for a public body, the Winter 2009 Issue of Manitoba OmbudsNews was published last Friday on the Manitoba Ombudsman‘s website.  It’s also a great resource.
