any communication, advertising and/or promotional purposes, including the posting of the video or any portion thereof
on the agency’s websites.

This consent will remain valid for one year from the date signed.

Authorizing person(s) may cancel or change the above authorization in writing at any time prior to the expiry date, unless
action has already been taken on the basis of the authorization.

I hereby give my/our permission and consent to Empower Simcoe to collect and use Photography and/or Video of this participant to promote and advertise the programs & services of Empower Simcoe.
