About the Atlantic Twig

In June of 2021, the Newfoundland & Labrador twig merged with the Nova Scotia twig to form the Atlantic twig of Editors Canada, aka Editors Atlantic.

We are 64 members strong, representative of Editors Canada members in New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland & Labrador.

Twenty-one people attended our first joint meeting by Zoom on Tuesday, June 15, 2021.

We have three co-chairs: Margo Grant, Molly Rookwood and Heather White (all of Halifax, NS). Our new email address is atlantic@editors.ca.

We aim to hold one professional development event per month for the benefit of our members. Zoom eliminates distance, enabling our far-flung members to easily meet, and we will do this for formal meetings such as AGMs. Our smaller sub-groups, such as the Wolfville Editors' Bunch, will continue to meet on an informal basis, either via Zoom or in person.

At present, the two former twigs each maintain websites connected to the Editors Canada site. We are in the process of creating a new Editors Atlantic website that combines the information of both twigs, so until then we're retaining our separate websites.
