• Canada's Anti-Spam Law: What Theatre Practitioners Need To Know on March 26 at 2:00pm in Toronto – Electronic marketing is one of the least expensive and most prolific ways for theatre practitioners to reach their audiences - to promote upcoming shows, provide ticket offers and solicit for volunteer and financial support.  Canada's new anti-spam law ("CASL"), which is expected to come into force this year, places considerable restrictions on the sending of commercial electronic messages.  This seminar will provide an overview of the requirements and penalties under CASL, and discuss examples of practical compliance methods.
