Dear student affiliates,
On January 1, 2019, Editors Canada’s fee for student affiliates will increase from $50 to $54.95. This increase allows the association to continue funding services and programs while working on the long-term sustainability of the association.
2018 accomplishments
- We built bridges with other communication professionals at our first ever conference in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
- We launched the Editors Barrie twig.
- We developed a new Agreement Template for Editing Services.
- We awarded 19 professional certifications through Editors Canada certification.
- We announced 41 new réviseurs agréés du Programme d’agrément en révision linguistique — Réviseurs Canada.
- We created a 16-month bilingual wall calendar that is full of advice from Editors Canada members and student affiliates. This popular item is nearly sold out!
- We also created the bilingual Pathways to Success with Editors Canada infographic (PDF, 1.3 MB), which promotes all of the association’s benefits and services, and how they can be applied to an editor’s career advancement.
We have a lot to look forward to next year!
- Editors Canada turns the big 4-0 in 2019! Next year we’ll celebrate our 40th anniversary.
- We’re returning to Atlantic Canada for our national conference in Halifax, Editors Canada 2019: Celebrating 40 Years.
- We’re working on Edit like a Pro (the new edition of Meeting Professional Editorial Standards) and tailoring it to meet the needs of editors and students studying editing in college and university programs.
- We’ll look for more benefits of membership and continue to support the great perks we already offer.
- We’re focusing on spreading the word about the value of editing, our members and our association.
