The North Shore News took home a trio of honours at the Canadian Community Newspaper Awards.
Arts editor John Goodman earned silver for best historical story among newspapers with a circulation greater than 12,500. His entry, Moby Doll of the Salish Sea, recounted the first capture and care of a live killer whale for public display, 50 years earlier. Goodman also won bronze for best feature series, for Squatters on the Waterfront.
A Managing editor Terry Peters picked up a silver for best spot news photo for his Nov. 5 front-page image of the emergency response to flash flooding in Lynn Valley in November.
The annual awards program honours outstanding editorial, photography, multimedia and overall excellence in community newspaper publishing. The 2015 competition saw 264 publications from coast to coast submit more than 2,700 entries representing their best work from 2014.
