Canada’s meeting place for freelance writers and creators

Established 2010

CFG members, you're invited to join the Board of Directors for our First Annual Holiday Mixer. We'll look back on another strange year and look ahead to a 'new normal', if there will ever be such a thing.

To help stimulate the conversation CFG member and communications strategist Robyn Roste will lead us through some suggestions on how to survey your freelance business over 2021 and shape your decisions to come for 2022.

Friday, December 17th 4pm Eastern Time (chat room opens at around 3:30) On 'The Zoom'

To register, check your email inbox for the invitation that went out on December 2. Or you can click this link to find the registration page.

NOTE: Your link to the session will be e-mailed to you around half an hour before the start time on Friday. Check your junk or spam mail folders if it's not in your inbox! And please don't register at the last minute. You will have missed the outgoing link email.
