Effective date: May 1, 2026
Organization: South East Sport, Culture & Recreation District (South East District)
South East Sport, Culture & Recreation District complies with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) and applicable provincial requirements in Saskatchewan. We respect the rights of our members, communities, volunteers, clients and partners to control how and when they hear from us. We strive to ensure that every commercial electronic message (CEM) we send provides relevant information to meet your needs.
What is a Commercial Electronic Message (CEM) and what is Spam?
A CEM is an electronic message (e.g., e-mail, text) that encourages participation in a commercial activity. Spam, on the other hand, is unsolicited, unwanted electronic messages, also known as ‘junk’ e mail or text messages that may be annoying, damaging, fraudulent or misleading. A CEM under CASL is broader than spam.
