Watch Webinar On Demand Here

A public consultation has been commenced by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) to solicit stakeholder input on the OPC's development of a Canadian children's privacy code. The consultation document sets out a broad range of questions concerning the scope and content of the code, which could have significant impact on a broad range of organizations that may process personal information of minors – including organizations providing services not specifically directed at children. 

Adam Kardash, Éloïse Gratton, Joanna Fine (Partners in Osler’s National Privacy and Data Management Group) and Natascha Gerlach (Director of Privacy & Data Policy at the Centre for Information Policy Leadership) led an interactive, online AccessPrivacy workshop on Friday, July 25, 2025 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. (Eastern Time). The targeted, moderated discussion was designed to assist organizations and trade associations in understanding the development process, application and impact of a potential code, and in framing their own submissions for the OPC’s consultation. 

As part of this interactive forum, we invite stakeholders to participate in the discussion and provide feedback. Consistent with our approach in past workshops, the event will be recorded and a copy will be submitted to the OPC as part of its consultation process. Representatives from the OPC will also be invited to attend in an observer capacity.
