Got freelancer questions, problems, advice or information to share? Have tips on gigs or potential collaboration? Looking for some freelancer conversation or camaraderie?

Through The ‘Lancer, we can help… each other.

CMG Freelance has launched a members-only email list where you can connect with other freelancers for mutual support. It will also be a place for more timely communications from the union on some of our latest freelancer resources and events.

We call it The ‘Lancer, because we're trying to take the “free”(as in "free labour") out of “freelancer."

To get things going, we’re holding a sign-up contest. If you register to join The ‘Lancer between now and January 30^th 2015 and send an email to the list introducing yourself, you’ll be entered into a prize draw for a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4.

Come and be part of a group of like-minded colleagues who can help you navigate the ups and downs of freelance life. We’re looking forward to meeting you!

Click here to sign up for The ‘Lancer. You’ll need your membership number to sign up. If you haven’t yet received your membership card, or if you have any questions about your membership, you can contact CMG Freelance organizer datejie green at Datejie@cmg.ca.

Once you're registered, don’t forget to send that self-introductory email to be entered into the prize draw.
