Electronic Messages

A CEM is a message that encourages participation in a commercial activity, including offering, announcing, or promoting a product, service, or person.  

Recipients receive a CEM from CPA NB, such as newsletter or personalized emails on various topics of interest, because they are on a mailing list for that type of communication or because they have acquired one or more products and services from CPA NB in the last two years. They can, however, unsubscribe from general, non-mandatory communications at any time.

Communications related to the purpose of CPA NB (i.e., the protection of the public) and those related to activities tied to the legislative and regulatory requirements of the profession do not constitute commercial electronic messages under CASL. Consequently, these communications will continue to be emailed to members and candidates, who cannot unsubscribe from this type of communication.
