Science Writers and Communicators of Canada

"Science Writers & Communicators of Canada (SWCC) was founded in 1970 as the Canadian Science Writers’ Association by a small group of science and medical reporters who recognized their role in helping other Canadians better understand rapid changes occurring in our world." You'll find resources for members and nonmembers for starting or expanding a career in science communication, an annual book awards contest (deadline was Oct. 31, 2025 extended to Nov. 7) and annual conference. The 2026 SWCC Annual Conference takes place June 15-16 at the Plaza Centre-Ville in Montréal, Quebec.
