Canada’s meeting place for freelance writers and creators

Established 2010

NOTE: This event was postponed and has been rescheduled. It was originally scheduled for Nov. 28, 2020. 

In early February of 2020 members of the PWAC and CMG Freelance executives gathered in Toronto and over just two days hammered out the framework for what has become the Canadian Freelance Guild. We now have an active, vibrant Guild with an ever-increasing membership.

To be sure there have been growing pains. And to be sure we've needed the guidance of our members as we moved forward with the organization. To continue that process we would like to cordially invite all members to the first ever Canadian Freelance Guild Annual General Meeting:

More details will follow in the days ahead, but members can expect to be asked to comment and vote on our bylaws. You'll get an update on our membership figures, budget, and strategic planning, and we will then open nominations for the election of our first CFG executive.

Please register now at this link. The deadline to register is 9pm ET on Feb. 4th, 2021.
