CASL Policy

We are committed to compliance with Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation ("CASL"). Any electronic communication we send to outside parties is protected by a range of business procedures, processes and policies to ensure that such communication is done in compliance with CASL. In our electronic communications with outside parties, we comply with the rules established by CASL and enforced by various Canadian authorities including the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission. CASL regulates, and our policies generally apply to, each commercial electronic message (a "CEM") that we send. A CEM is an electronic message sent to an electronic address that, among its purposes, encourages participation in a commercial activity.In addition to adopting and updating this Policy, we undertake various transparency initiatives to ensure we comply with CASL, which include:

Consent. We do not send you CEMs without your consent. This consent typically must be “express” (i.e. expressly acknowledged by you), but in certain circumstances can be "implied". In other limited circumstances, consent is not required. We have modified or adopted our sign-up, registration and consent forms in order to ensure that your consent is meaningful (i.e. informed and freely given) as required by CASL. When we collect your electronic contact information, you will know the exact purposes behind the collection.
Content. We have adopted processes to ensure that our CEMs contain the following requirements prescribed under CASL, which will usually be in the footer of the CEM. We will:
- identify ourselves as the party sending the CEM, and whether we are sending the message on our own behalf or on behalf of someone else;
- provide you with our contact information; and
- set out a clear, working unsubscribe mechanism or preference centre that is easy to use, automatic, and at no cost to you (other than your own cost of connecting to the Internet).
Clarity. We ensure that each aspect of a CEM (including its header, content, or any links or URLs in the CEM) conveys the appropriate information, whether viewed individually or taken as a whole, so that you always know what you are clicking on.

If you receive a CEM from us but believe that you should not have or no longer wish to receive CEMs, we will aim to respect your preferences in a timely manner once you update them through our unsubscribe mechanism. CASL requires us to process unsubscribe requests within 10 business days. If you have any questions or concerns about our unsubscribe mechanisms, you may contact using the contact information provided in below.
