Join the Canadian Freelance Guild for the first CFG Experts Panel of 2024 and discover how you can navigate the government contracting system to your advantage.

We've confirmed two expert CFG panelists who know how to find and get Government of Canada contracts, and a representative from Procurement Canada.

This is bound to be a popular event just two months from the government's annual year end, when budgets are either spent or returned to the Treasury.
