Are you looking for another way to connect with Editors Canada members and student affiliates? Our dedicated Google Groups are exclusive spaces where anyone who belongs to the association can participate in courteous and respectful discussion by email, a web interface, or both.
Our Google Groups
Editors Canada Forum
Before there were social media sites, there were email listservs. For many years, the Editors Canada email list was the online hub that connected members across the association. Anyone subscribed to the list could participate in email discussions with members on topics ranging from practical advice on editing and the workplace to sharing job opportunities and recommendations on professional tools and technology. It was also a place for casual conversation among editing colleagues—a virtual water cooler of sorts.
We’re pleased to reintroduce that concept to members and student affiliates in a new format. As a Google Group, the Editors Canada Forum allows subscribers to participate in courteous and respectful discussion by email, a web interface, or both.
The Editors Canada Forum is a great way to reach all subscribers via a single email address. Subscribers can also read archived posts via the web interface.

Food Editors
Food Editors is a place for food editors to connect on topics ranging from practical advice on editing documents within the realm of food and beverage to sharing job opportunities and recommendations on resources.
The food editing niche encompasses a variety of materials, including cookbooks, memoirs and even menus. If you’re a current or aspiring food editor, or are an editor with an interest in the niche, this is the forum for you.
Forum francophone de Réviseurs Canada
Like the Editors Canada Forum, the Forum francophone de Réviseurs Canada is a Google Group for current members and student affiliates to participate in email or web-based discussions on topics ranging from practical advice on editing and the workplace to sharing job opportunities and recommendations on professional tools and technology. It’s also a place for casual conversation among editing colleagues.
English-speaking members are welcome; however, please note that discussion on the Forum francophone de Réviseurs Canada takes place in French.
