These Members may also vote on motions regarding the CANCOM Constitution, By-laws, and budgets. This Membership will also give you access to the CANCOM Comedy Symposium, and all six Workshops. For details on Voting Membership, contact info@cancomedy.ca.

Become a member to register with Word Collections
CANCOM is collaborating with Word Collections to offer our members access to their services at a CANCOM Member rate, as well as to develop future content creation by Canadian comedy artists.
As a CANCOM Member, you are not automatically enrolled in a service agreement with Word Collections. CANCOM Membership is FREE for artists and makes you eligible for the preferred Member rate and you are given the opportunity to indicate that you are interested in pursuing a service agreement with Word Collections.
Indicating your interest is only consent for CANCOM to share your relevant contact information with Word Collections, after which one of their representatives will reach out to you directly. The service agreement you enter with them will be between you and Word Collections.
For privacy reasons, we are required to inform you that by indicating you are interested in having Word Collections contact you about their services, CANCOM will provide them with your Member contact data, (which you’ve already provided) and this data will be made available to Word Collections, a company based in the United States.
If you are interested in having Word Collections contact you about their service agreement, please register to become a member. You will receive an email with your membership number. This is needed to complete your Word Collections registration.
