Next Meeting's Program

The Cellar at the Duke of York, 39 Prince Arthur Avenue
(Come in the separate entrance to the left of the main door or enter through the main door and walk downstairs.)
7:00 PM to midnight

A Reminder - It's Party Time on Monday!

Let's face it – being uptight is part of an editor's job description. That’s why we need to take every opportunity to shake loose. Come on out to the Duke of York on Monday, June 28 and let your hair down – have a few drinks, eat some tasty refreshments, connect with friends, and, what the hey, misplace a few modifiers, splice a few commas, and just generally enjoy you'reself! Members get in free (and receive a drink ticket!); non-members pay $10.

The end-of-year party is also our opportunity to honour the volunteers whose efforts make everything EAC Toronto branch does possible. Thanks (and a small gift) will be extended to

Future Program Lineup

September 27, 2010: Our 2010–2011 season will be kicking off with a town hall meeting where members will have the opportunity to provide feedback and "blue sky thinking" on the National Executive Council’s "Editing EAC" proposal.

October 25, 2010: Our first business meeting of the season will be followed by a program on EAC Certification. Janice Dyer will update you on the latest developments, offer tips for preparing for the tests (coming up in November!), and answer any questions you might have.

If you have any suggestions for future programs, please contact the Program Chair (toronto_br_program_chair@editors.ca).

Stay tuned to the Toronto branch website for program updates.

General Membership Meeting Information

The Toronto branch of the Editors' Association of Canada meets at 7:30 p.m. on the fourth Monday of every month (except July, August, and December).

Business Session

In addition to providing updates about the Toronto branch’s news, events, and activities, during the business session members, from time to time, will vote on matters of importance. Members and guests are also given the opportunity to ask questions or offer feedback. There are three business sessions per year, held before the program at the October, February, and May meetings.

Information Session

A 15-minute information session will be held at meetings during which there is no business session. During the information session, a member of the executive communicates updates about the Toronto branch’s news, events, and activities through executive and committee reports and discussion. The information sessions also offer members and guests opportunities for questions and feedback.
