Where: Fasken, 55 Metcalfe, Suite 1300

Now that the grace period has ended, it's vital for small businesses to be aware of the changes that have occurred and what they need to do to stay compliant.

Small Business Consultant, Jennifer Walker has teamed up with Alexandra Logvin, a litigation lawyer with Fasken  practising in these areas, to talk about what entrepreneurs and small business owners need to know about e-mail marketing and the Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation.
