Applicable excerpts from the CRTC link above:

Addresses Posted Online
It cannot be assumed that people whose electronic addresses are posted online are necessarily interested in receiving commercial offers. Addresses may be posted online for many different purposes. For example:

  • an individual may use an email address to solicit feedback from people interested in the subject of a blog or article they have written
  • a club or community group may post email addresses to facilitate contact amongst its members and to organize events
  • a charitable organization may do so to receive donations
  • organizations may include employee email addresses on a contact page or staff directory to enable communication regarding matters related to their employment or profession

It is important to note that business contact information such as an individual’s work email address is also considered personal information and is subject to PIPEDA, except where its collection, use or disclosure is solely for communicating with the individual in relation to their employment, business or profession.
Organizations may wish to be cautious, assume nothing, and ensure that an address collected for marketing purposes is done with the individual’s full consent. See our blog post, which is a case study in how not to collect and use email addresses to elicit feedback.

Express VS Implied Consent

Relevant Excerpt from the CRTC online Guide above:

Can I send CEMs to an email address I find online?

It depends on the situation. You can only rely on this conspicuous publication—or in other words, when someone posts or publishes their email address—when:

  1. There is no statement in connection with the address that the person does not want to receive CEMs at that address;

    and
  2. The content of your CEM is relevant to the recipient's business, role, functions, or duties in a business or official capacity.
