The Province organizes and hosts two “Security Day” events each year (spring and fall), free of charge. 

Cybersecurity impacts all of us - professionally and personally.

That's why Security Day is open to everyone.

We encourage everyone to attend via webcast. This includes, but is not restricted to: government employees, broader public sector representatives, school districts, post secondary institutions, municipalities, crown corporations, and any individual interested in security.
