The Globe and Mail nominated for five Jack Webster Awards

The Globe and Mail has been nominated for five Jack Webster Awards, including for coverage of British Columbia’s mental health system in the wake of a deadly attack on a street festival and an investigation into the culture within Canada Soccer before the drone spying scandal at the Paris Olympics.

Nancy Macdonald is a finalist for Best News Reporting of the Year – Print/Digital for her in-depth feature about the impact of fentanyl on Victoria’s Pandora Avenue.

Pandora Avenue has seen an especially stark transformation from a leafy, green gateway boulevard into the city’s downtown to a street of desperation. Ms. Macdonald spent several days in the neighbourhood to measure the toll of the crisis.
