SUMMARY:Webinar: The Recruitment Process: Navigating Incoming Legal Requirements under Ontario’s Employment Standards Act
DESCRIPTION:Since 2021\, the Government of Ontario has passed several iterations of its Working for Workers legislation\, each of which has amended important employment-related statutes like the Employment Standards Act (ESA) and the Occupational Health and Safety Act. \nNotably\, the Working for Workers Four Act\, 2024 and the Working for Workers Five Act\, 2024 both created new legal requirements under the ESA in respect of the recruitment process. With these new requirements set to come into effect on January 1\, 2026\, it’s crucial that employers act proactively in the coming weeks and months to ensure that they properly understand the scope of their new statutory obligations and adequately prepare for compliance. \nJoin Jake Tolton in an informative webinar that will cover topics including: \n\nThe scope of the new requirements\, which touch specifically on publicly advertised job postings and related application forms\, post-interview communication with interviewees and record retention.\nAreas of potential concern or ambiguity that employers should be aware of in preparing for compliance.\nPractical tips and suggested steps for ensuring compliance with the new requirements as of January 1\, 2026.\n\nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:eXclusive eXperience – April 8\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Growth at the highest level is driven by relationships\, not transactions. If traditional Ottawa networking no longer delivers meaningful results – and your business operates at a higher level\, you belong in a different room. eSAX eXclusive eXperience was created with you in mind. \nWhen accomplished leaders are given the space to connect with intention\, exceptional outcomes follow. When influential leaders gather in an environment designed for connection – refined\, relaxed\, and intentional – trust is established and opportunities naturally emerge. \nBe part of an eXclusive opportunity to leverage Ottawa’s leading networking eXperience for business executives and community leaders.\nThis is not about visibility. It’s about access. \n👉 Ottawa’s most refined networking experience for leaders who expect more. \neXclusive eXperience is networking\, elevated. \nRe: eXclusive eXperience – Wednesday\, April 8\, 2026 (7:00 – 10:00pm)\nLocation: Al’s Steakhouse (327 Elgin Street\, Ottawa K2P 1M5)\nRegister now: https://eSAX.ca/eXclusive \neXclusive eXperience is a curated monthly event designed for senior-level executives and high-performing entrepreneurs who understand that proximity to the right people accelerates success. \nDistinct from large-scale networking or tradeshow environments like the yearly eSAX entrepreneur networking tradeshow\, these gatherings attract a select\, elevated demographic – decision makers with influence\, vision\, and the capacity to act. \nHeld on the second Wednesday of every month at carefully selected\, upscale venues across the city\, each experience is strictly limited to 12 participants – ensuring discretion\, depth\, and measurable value. \nhttps://eSAX.ca/eXclusive
