The Writers' Guild of Alberta (WGA) was founded in 1980 as a non-profit community organization for writers based in Alberta, Canada. It claims to be the largest provincial writers' organization in Canada, representing approximately 1,000 writers throughout the province.[1] Its main office is based in Edmonton, with a southern office located in Calgary. They are also associated with The Writers' Union of Canada, offering discounted memberships to TWUC members.
The founding president was Rudy Wiebe.[2] A new president is nominated and elected at each year's AGM event. The president for the 2018-2019 year is Carol Parchewsky with vice-president Leslie Chivers, replacing Dustin Archibald.[3]
