Join us as we recognize excellence amongst our members, covering all aspects of the newsmedia industry, including reporting, photography, advertising, community contribution, online excellence, and more.

               

We are so proud of the work coming out of all the community publications in BC and Yukon, and we hope that all of our members will join us at the River Rock Casino Resort on Saturday, May 14, 2022 to celebrate the finalists — AND to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the BCYCNA!
