As a member of the Canadian Media Guild, you now have the option of enrolling in group medical and dental benefits through the Writers Coalition. The program has been designed specifically with artists and media freelancers in mind.

“We are glad to make this opportunity available to our members,” says Don Genova, president of the CMG freelance branch. “Benefits are part of the safety net that is often missing for freelancers.”

You can find out more about the benefits program at http://www.cmg.ca/en/freelance/benefits/ .

The CMG has also opened up its freelance branch to all freelancers. If you have a friend or colleague who might be interested in the advantages of union membership, please urge them to visit http://www.cmg.ca/en/freelance/join/ to find out more.

As always, if you have any questions, get in touch with us at freelance@cmg.ca .
