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:
“The spiritual kinship between Lincoln and Whitman was founded upon their Americanism, their essential Westernism. Whitman had grown up without much formal education; Lincoln had scarcely any education. One had become the notable poet of the day; one the orator of the Gettsyburg Address. It was inevitable that Whitman as a poet should turn with a feeling of kinship to Lincoln, and even without any association or contact feel that Lincoln was his.”
—Edgar Lee Masters (1869–1950)
“I fear that I have not got much to say about Canada, not having seen much; what I got by going to Canada was a cold.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
