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.

There is no requirement to submit pieces which fall within the realm of exempt advertising per PAAB code section 1.5 or non-advertising per the Health Canada policy document "The Distinction Between Advertising and Other Activities". If you are uncertain about whether the piece requires review, feel free to use our written opinion service. See the fee schedule on our website
