Editors' Association Of Canada
The Editors' Association of Canada/Association canadienne des réviseurs (EAC) promotes professional editing as key in producing effective communication. The association has more than 1,600 members, both salaried and freelance, who work with individuals and organizations in the corporate, technical, government, not-for-profit and publishing sectors.
Six regional branches—British Columbia, the Prairie Provinces, Saskatchewan, Toronto, the National Capital Region and Quebec/Atlantic Canada—provide a range of local programming and services. Several smaller branches, or 'twigs', are also offering local services to EAC members.
EAC sponsors professional development seminars, promotes and maintains high standards of editing and publishing in Canada, establishes guidelines to help editors secure fair pay and good working conditions, helps both in-house and freelance editors to network, and cooperates with other publishing associations in areas of common concern.
The association is incorporated federally as a not-for-profit organization and is governed at the national level by an executive council.

Famous quotes containing the words association and/or canada:
“It is not merely the likeness which is precious ... but the association and the sense of nearness involved in the thing ... the fact of the very shadow of the person lying there fixed forever! It is the very sanctification of portraits I think—and it is not at all monstrous in me to say ... that I would rather have such a memorial of one I dearly loved, than the noblest Artist’s work ever produced.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
“Though the words Canada East on the map stretch over many rivers and lakes and unexplored wildernesses, the actual Canada, which might be the colored portion of the map, is but a little clearing on the banks of the river, which one of those syllables would more than cover.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
