Canadian Heritage
As the digital landscape evolves at an unprecedented pace, online platforms have a responsibility to address harmful content on their services and to create a safer online environment for Canadians, especially kids.
The Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages, reconvened the expert advisory group on online safety to engage on new and emerging issues related to online harms.
In 2022, Canadian Heritage held a series of nine workshops with these experts on the important topic of online safety.
The group is composed of experts and specialists from across Canada who will reunite this spring to contribute once again their knowledge and experience from a variety of fields:
