Join us on June 21 for the Editors Canada Discord launch party! Editors Canada members and student affiliates are cordially invited to the inauguration of the Editors Canada Discord server on Saturday, June 21, 2025! Hosted by the member services committee and Discord admin team, this event will be filled with light-hearted interactions designed to encourage exploring the server's many channels. Consider this a chance to get to know your fellow editors while testing a new social for the organization. The party begins on Saturday, June 21, 2025, at 4 p.m., EDT, and will last six hours, with a literary-themed movie after for those who want a bit more time together. Throughout the day, there will be special events, such as writing sprints, editing quizzes, reflections on National Indigenous Peoples Day, webinars, author readings, music and even prizes! The cost of this event? Nothing! This is an entirely free day of fun that we hope will turn into a regular meeting place for Editors Canada members and student affiliates. If you have been curious about what our Discord server entails, this is the best time to see it. For those new to Discord or who would like a refresher, the server has thorough how-to guides and a useful Q&A. Administrators will be on hand to help those with specific struggles to ensure everyone can join and make use of the space. The Discord server is a water cooler space for people to hang out as if they were at work together and chit-chat, but also get into tricky work-related questions. There are spaces for fun, debate, meetings and collaboration, and room for growth as the server needs. This is a quick and secure way to talk to each other and provide support, during and after work. Plus Discord doesn't pre-populate content or spam ads at users—in fact, it typically just advertises itself and its services, and even then only occasionally.
