Volunteer Opportunities

If you are looking to be more involved in your Association, network with other editors, and have some fun, we are looking for you! We are always looking for people to help on the executive or various committees. If you are interested in volunteering or have any questions, please contact Jane Hurge, Past Chair, at ncrpastchair@editors.ca.

Looking for Work?

One of the great benefits of membership in EAC is that employers advertise employment and contract opportunities to members. Positions posted through the hotline can be temporary positions, ideal for freelancers or permanent in-house positions. If you are an EAC member and looking for work, you can opt to receive employment opportunity notices by email as they become available. Your name will remain on this list until you opt out of the list. To register, click here to notify the branch that you want to be listed. Only your name and email address are needed. Do not send a résumé.

Hire an Editor

If your company needs to hire an editor, you have two methods of searching for the right editor for your project. First, you can search the Editors' Association of Canada Online Directory of Editors at http://www.editors.ca/hire/index.html. The second method is to use the NCR Branch Job Hotline. Employers can send a job description including contact information to ncr@editors.ca and it will be distributed to NCR members registered with the Job Hotline.
