The Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) came into effect 8 years ago. Business as usual has dramatically changed since then and it’s time for a refresher. This webinar will cover why CASL was created and its potential impacts to your organization. Whether you are a non-profit turned social enterprise, you are currently exploring alternative ways of revenue generation, or you just need a CASL refresher, this virtual session will teach you what you need to know to correctly follow CASL in 2022. Specific examples and case studies will be provided followed by a Q&A with legal experts from Miller Thomson.
