It's especially rewarding when you are recognized for the whole team that builds your magazine. We're all so passionate about telling stories that resonate about Canadian history, and this kind of recognition helps us to feel we are making these stories relevant for today's readers."

“It takes a lot of hard work to create a successful magazine, well beyond the content readers see on the finished page,” explained Manitoba Magazine Publishers’ Association president Dorothy Dobbie. “These awards provide important recognition to the full team of professionals that help to create strong magazines, as well as help raise awareness for the extraordinarily creative and dynamic job opportunities this industry offers for Manitobans.”
