About this Event
CBC’s flagship consumer investigative program Marketplace invites you to a live taping of our season finale with CBC hosts Asha Tomlinson and Chris Glover.
It’s part game show and part consumer showdown built around some key questions. Do you know your consumer rights and responsibilities? Can you protect your privacy, recognize misleading sales tactics, or spot the use of artificial intelligence?
You won't just be watching, you could be part of the program.
Contestants will be randomly selected to take part in a series of fast-paced, on-stage challenges that reflect real-world consumer situations. Get ready to test your ability to conduct your own investigation, navigate complaint processes and identify digital deception! You'll also have a chance to weigh in on how your rights should be strengthened, and how governments can do more to protect you.
Light refreshments will be available before the taping.
Stick around after the show to snap a photo, and meet the Marketplace team in the Glenn Gould lobby.
