PWAC's 30th Anniversary CelebrationsThe Professional Writers Association of Canada (PWAC, Suite 123)
celebrated it’s 30th anniversary in 2006 and did it up in style with a
fantastic celebration in Ottawa.

As one of the founding tenants of the Centre for Social Innovation
(Suite 120) PWAC has thrived in the co-location environment. The
association was started by a tiny group of Toronto and Vancouver
writers and has grown steadily into the national association it is today,
with 600 members-- all working freelance writers -- and local chapters in every region of the country.

PWAC provides Canada's working writers with networking opportunities,
media access, professional development, markets information, and is a powerful advocate for public and private arts and culture funding in Canada. They are also a lead organization in the ongoing copyright reform process.
