Access to some Editors Canada web resources still offline
Editors Canada’s free member access to the Canadian Press, the Chicago Manual of Style and Oxford resources remains offline. This is due to a problem with our website’s EZProxy connection to these resources.
Our website developer has enlisted the help of the teams at our previous website host, as well as our new web server, to find and resolve the configuration issue so they can get these resources working again. Unfortunately, these teams haven’t provided an estimate for when this will happen.
Editors Canada’s national office is following up daily to stress the importance of these services that many members use every day. The national office will let members know when the EZProxy connection is fixed or there’s another update.
We apologize sincerely for the inconvenience and thank you for your continued patience.

We’re excited to announce a new benefit of membership: The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) Online is now free for Editors Canada members and student affiliates!
A personal subscription to the OED Online costs US$100/year, but you can now access it free of charge via the Editors Canada website.
About the OED
The OED is widely regarded as the accepted authority on the English language. It is an unsurpassed guide to the meaning, history and pronunciation of more than 600,000 words, past and present, from across the English-speaking world.
As a historical dictionary, the OED focuses not only on the meanings of the word, but also on the history of the word, and how its meaning has changed over time. The OED traces the history of the English language through 3 million quotations, from classic literature and specialist periodicals, to film scripts and cookery books. Updates revise and extend the OED at regular intervals, each time subtly adjusting our image of the English language.
