Member Review
Canadian writers take so much for granted. Canada Council programs. Festivals and readings. Cheques arriving from the Public Lending Right Commission and Access Copyright. The Writers’ Trust of Canada Awards. Apparently, some of us believe that these things sprang unbidden from a naturally generous culture, and will always be with us. But they exist thanks mainly to the sustained creative efforts and constant vigilance of The Writers’ Union of Canada. We owe. We owe those who have gone before us, and we owe those who will come after.
Advocacy
The Writers’ Union of Canada was formed to ensure that writers' voices are heard and their writing is protected. To this end, the Union is at the table with government and industry to advance issues vital to writers and the literary culture of Canada, and to increase knowledge and awareness of the issues facing writers in Canada.
