Canada’s new Anti-Spam Law comes into force on July 1, 2014 and will cover all electronic messages including: email, social networking accounts and text messages – plus much more.
What does it mean for you as a business owner when communicating with current and potential clients? What are the guidelines and penalties? What do you need to know and how should you prepare?”
Debbie Lapointe is a small business owner who began educating herself on the Canadian Government’s new Anti-Spam law a year ago, when the spam received in her inbox became a daily source of frustration. She is not associated with the new Anti-Spam program, but happily shares what she’s learned with other business owners, who will be impacted by the changes.
