TORONTO, ON—Canada is facing the most significant changes to its federal and provincial privacy laws in decades.

This will be the theme of CMAprivacy from the Canadian Marketing Association (CMA)’s Morning Event Series, Canada’s premier annual event for marketers on breaking privacy developments, which is taking place virtually on Tuesday October 20, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. ET.
