The STC Southwestern Ontario Chapter’s Discussion List

This list provides a place to discuss any topic that might be of interest to a technical communicator. You do not have to be a chapter member to join this list. If you want to join, send an email request to mailmaster@stc-soc.org.

The chapter will publicize events related to technical communication on this list. Some of the events are ones our chapter is offering, while others are offered by other chapters, organizations and companies. While events offered outside of our chapter might be very worthwhile, we can only endorse those that our chapter offers. The STC Southwestern Ontario chapter does not receive any remuneration for advertising these events; this is simply a public service to our community.
