You might notice in the coming weeks that we'll be on Facebook less and less. That's by design, as we're focusing our social media efforts on more effective communication channels.

Plus, you can always see our upcoming events, our latest Story Board articles, and access the most recent offerings from our online videostore at canadianfreelanceguild.ca/
