Results:

The Access to Information and Privacy Communities Development Office (APCDO) hosted five new “Ask-Me-Anything” sessions where participants may ask questions and interact with subject-matter experts or other participants on a specific topic.

More than 600 participants attended those sessions. Topics included ATIP statistical reports and standards on Privacy Impact Assessments.

APCDO also reviewed the ATIP social media tools and integrated some related topics or groups under the same platform for better exposure and to facilitate dialogue among ATIP professionals.
