The Burnaby NOW is continuing its winning ways.
The newspaper has just earned honours at the Canadian Community Newspaper Association Awards for Best Editorial Page.
The awards, announced on April 15, honour the best work from community newspapers from coast to coast. See www.newspaperscanada.ca for more.
Meanwhile, at the annual Ma Murray Awards, reporter Jennifer Moreau is a finalist for Environmental Writing for her work on The pipeline primer, published in June 2015, gave an overview of the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion project and its impacts locally and beyond.
Also at the Ma Murray Awards, former Burnaby NOW publisher Brad Alden is being recognized with the Eric Dunning Award for Dedication and Service to the Community Newspaper Industry.
