Forum Update: Supporting Community-Led Discussion

The forum was created as a space for shared learning and peer support, and as the community grows, we want to lean more fully into that purpose.

Going forward, PAAB will be taking a more listening-first role in forum discussions. Rather than responding immediately to every question, we’ll be encouraging members to engage with one another, share experiences, and help build collective understanding. PAAB will continue to monitor conversations and will step in to:

  • Correct any misunderstandings
  • Provide guidance when questions remain unanswered after a few days
  • Support discussions where official clarification is needed

Our goal is to foster a collaborative, trusted community where knowledge is shared and strengthened by everyone’s contributions.

Thank you for being part of the conversation.

    I am working with a company that will be changing their legal name in Canada this month. This will require an update to the legal portion and logos on their marketing materials.

    For pieces that expire later this year, does PAAB require they be updated within a certain time period? Do these need to be submitted or can we send them to PAAB as an FYI (assuming no content changes beyond the company logo and legal line)?

    One of the materials also expires this month, but we will most likely not have the logos in time for the renewal. Are we okay to submit and update the logos as an FYI once they are created? Or are we better off to ask for an extension?

      Hello @ebailey

      A search of the term "company" on the forum will return Q&A 744 which should answer the above question.
