Awards

National writing awards that I’ve won or been nominated for over the years

Me with Bill Hunter and Karen Lorimer of Canadian Lawyer Magazine at the 61st annual Kenneth R. Wilson Awards (KRW) ceremony in Toronto in 2016. It was the last edition of the awards which honoured Canadian business to business magazine publishing. I won two of the six gold medals awarded for writing (one for a cover story in Canadian Lawyer, the other for a news feature in the Medical Post) and was a finalist for another.
