Canada’s meeting place for freelance writers and creators

Established 2010

As a creative entrepreneur and organization co-founder, Tracey Arial has thirty years of experience learning about grants, obligations and services established by Canada's Federal Government.

In this webinar, Tracey will take you through five ways to think about government relations, particularly when it comes to the heritage, industry and taxation ministries. Knowing about copyright, income averaging, ISBNs and public right payments helps increase your confidence in reaching out to federal politicians and bureaucrats.

This one-hour session will be conducted using the Zoom platform. It's scheduled for Tuesday, October 19th from 7 to 8pm Eastern Time

The cost is $5 for Canadian Freelance Guild members and $15 for non-members. Your link to the session will be sent to you one-half hour before the start time. Please make sure you have the most up-to-date version of Zoom in order to enter the meeting.

You can register for the webinar right here.

And you can find more information about the cost and benefits of membership in the CFG on this webpage.
