A reminder that copying of educational materials must fall within the scope of the fair dealing exception under s. 29 of the Copyright Act. For more information, please refer to the Council of Ministers of Education’s (CMEC’s) Fair Dealing Guidelines. CMEC’s interactive Fair Dealing Decision Tool can also help teachers and district staff determine if fair dealing permits classroom use of materials without getting copyright permission or payment.
Please also ask your school principals to post these Fair Dealing Guidelines and Consumables posters as a reminder for staff of their copyright obligations.
