ACC British Columbia and Harris & Company LLP  invite you to join us for a virtual discussion lead by Michela V. Fiorido, Partner at Harris

Join us for a discussion about the intersection of privacy and human rights law in the collection and use of sensitive personal information. Practical insights for the collection of data in a DEI context will be discussed, in addition to other collection practices that have the potential to increase legal risk.

This will include topics like social media searches; reference and other background checks; using diversity data for hiring decisions; and dealing with personal information in an accommodation context.
