Join Canada’s plain language community!

This year we are introducing a formal paid membership program. Becoming a member will ensure you continue to enjoy all the benefits you’re getting now from Plain Canada Clair and give you free access to the services and events we will begin charging non-members for in September.

Since launching in 2019, Plain Canada Clair has continued to attract a variety of professionals, students, and others interested in plain language principles and techniques. In the coming weeks, we will launch our refreshed website and, along with it, a paid membership option.

When you become a member, you will be joining a vibrant community run by and for the members. We will continue to offer our very popular social and learning online events, as well as the annual conference. In addition, we will be giving you

  • a growing repository of plain language resources,
  • access to a library of our past webinars (which we have been building for the past three years),
  • a new members-only discussion forum,
  • a new members’ directory so you can connect with practitioners across the country, and
  • much more!

​We are looking forward to continuing to build the community of plain language practitioners across Canada, and together influencing and shaping the adoption of plain language. 

Look out for the membership announcement in the coming weeks!
