The CLC sends out periodic newsflashes to keep our membership informed of CLC activities and composer opportunities. We currently send out materials in the language in which it is received; our intention in the future, once we have sufficient resources, is to send out messages in both official languages. La LCC envoie périodiquement à ses membres des flashs d'information pour les informer des activités de la Ligue et de nouvelles susceptibles d'intéresser les compositeurs. Actuellement, nous envoyons les renseignements dans la langue d'origine. Cependant, à l'avenir, nous avons l'intention d'envoyer les messages dans les deux langues officielles, lorsque nous disposerons des ressources suffisantes.
