Digital Innovation for Enhanced Public Awareness
As part of our commitment to support building a fairer marketplace, MDR Public Affairs developed ConsumerProtection.info, a digital toolkit of information and resources to support the Canadian regulatory sector by promoting their work that protects consumers and patients.
Created by regulatory communications professionals in consultation with regulators, government, the general public, and licensed professionals; ConsumerProtection.info was developed with a commitment to free and accessible use.
The toolkit currently includes:
-
Canadian Regulatory Guide, a comprehensive online library of regulatory bodies, consumer protection information, and news;
-
RegulatoryJobs.ca, an employment listings website for career opportunities in the Canadian regulatory sector;
-
Last Week's Listings, a weekly newsletter sharing recent employment opportunities in the regulatory sector; and
-
