The Tri-City News is a finalist for two provincial media awards.
Today (March 30), the BC/Yukon Community Newspaper Association announced reporter–photographer Mario Bartel is up for the Feature Photo Award for his images of shoe entrepreneur Tye Engmann of Port Moody.
He's competing against entries from Mike Wakefield (North Shore News) and Keili Bartlett (Sechelt/Gibsons Coast Reporter).
And, Janis Cleugh is one of three reporters vying for the 2023 Environmental Writing Award.
Her article, titled We are the guardians of this place, focused on last November’s ground blessing by the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem) First Nation for a new sockeye hatchery near the Coquitlam Dam.
Susie Quinn (Alberni Valley News) and Tyler Harper (Nelson Star) are also finalists in the category.
The winners will be named on May 4 by the board of the BCYCNA, which is marking its 101st year.
