Commissioner Dufresne invites applications to the OPC Youth Advisory Council

[The Privacy Commissioner of Canada appears with a banner behind him that has the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada logo on it and the words “youth privacy in a digital age” and “vie privée des jeunes à l’âge numérique.”]

Young people need to be part of the conversation about the privacy challenges that matter the most to them. That’s why I am creating a Youth Advisory Council for my Office.

[Commissioner Dufresne is seated on a stage with 4 young people. The scene changes and a young woman speaking appears. Then there are 4 young people seated with Commissioner Dufresne on a stage. There are banners behind them with the words “privacy in a digital age” and “la vie privée à l’âge numérique.” There are also 2 Canadian flags.]

This will be a space for young people to share their experiences and ideas to help us to better understand how issues like social media and artificial intelligence are impacting younger Canadians.

[Commissioner Dufresne is shaking hands with a young woman and then with a young man in front of a banner that features the Office of the Privacy Commissioner logo and the words “youth privacy in a digital age” and “vie privée des jeunes à l’âge numérique” on it.]

We are looking for people aged 13 to 17 who are passionate about technology, privacy and the digital world to join.

[Commissioner Dufresne stands with 3 young people.]

Applicants just need a desire to share experiences and ideas – and to make a difference.

[The video now shows Commissioner Dufresne standing in front of a banner that has the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada logo on it and the words “youth privacy in a digital age” and “vie privée des jeunes à l’âge numérique.”
