Canadian Geographic has received three National Magazine Award nominations! These prestigious awards celebrate excellence in Canadian magazine publishing and it is an honour to be recognized. Nominated in the Feature Writing category is our own associate editor Thomas Lundy for his story on the proposed Aqviqtuuq Inuit Protected and Conserved Area, the first Inuit-led conservation model of its kind in the world, which seeks to protect some 90,000 square kilometres of vital caribou habitat at the northernmost tip of mainland Canada. Although photography is one of our pillars at Canadian Geographic, some stories are better told through illustration. Such is the case with our feature on the mysteries and wonders of the ocean abyss and the looming threat of deep-sea mining, for which Amanda Key is nominated in the Illustration category. Finally, nominated in the Photo Essay and Photojournalism category is frequent Canadian Geographic contributor Guillaume Nolet for his photo essay on life in Bourlamaque, Quebec, a former gold mining town now preserved as a kind of living national historic site. Of course, these nominations also reflect the creativity, dedication and attention to detail our editors, designers and fact-checkers bring to every issue we publish. We love telling Canada's story and we appreciate the ongoing interest and support of readers like you! |
