Alberta's New Privacy
Law
Alberta's Privacy Act came into force on
January 1, 2004. For more details, check out this
Guide to the new law.
Privacy Impacts
on Charities
Many organizations are finding it difficult to determine how to handle the new federal Personal
Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and provincial privacy legislation that may affect charitable fundraising and other activities.
A coalition of fundraising groups and associations, including the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), is developing materials to help charities comply with the numerous privacy bills in Canada. The coalition's first document, Privacy 101 – A Guide to Privacy Legislation for Fundraising Professionals in Canada, answers common questions; a second document about the impact of different legislation across
Canada will be available on the site in a few weeks.
Publications Assistance Program
The application process for postal subsidy funding for magazines is in full-swing. Once again, the bias against association publications is very evident. Check out the new eligibility rules.
