Permissions FAQ: Text/Article Permissions

Can I post your article on my website?
It is always okay to link to CBC.ca stories. However, we don’t generally allow people to put CBC.ca stories on their own sites. There are some exceptions to this general rule – for example, in some cases, we have allowed universities to put CBC.ca stories on password-protected sites. If you want to put a story on your own site, please submit a Permissions request for our review.
