Campbell River Mirror journalists took home silver in this year’s B.C. and Yukon Community Newsmedia Association’s Ma Murray awards.
The awards were presented in Vancouver on April 20. The Mirror was nominated for The People Project in the Special Publications category. The magazine features stories of people who make Campbell River the special place that it is, and has been published for two years as of 2024.

The awards recognize excellence in advertising, writing and photography as well as special publications as created by community news organizations around British Columbia and Yukon.
