Tyee journalism is vying for prestigious national prizes this spring. Finalists for Canadian Association of Journalists awards include The Tyee’s Amanda Follett Hosgood for her report on the B.C. government’s violation of its own privacy laws during a pipeline conflict on Wet’suwet’en territory, and former Tyee labour reporter Zak Vescera, for his probe into the high-stakes dispute between BC Ferries and its union.

Finalists for Digital Publishing Awards are Peter Fairley for his coverage of a historic legal breakthrough by two climate activists, and Amy Romer’s report — in a co-production with the Global Reporting Centre — on a Sudanese refugee’s entanglement in a maddening web of shadowy bureaucracy.

And The Tyee is a finalist for the DPA General Excellence Award. All of this is possible because of our Builder members. You can join them here.

From Alaska to California, people are pouring their smarts and hearts into successful enterprises that are low carbon and locally rooted. They’re employing and training, producing and sustaining.

So The Tyee created a whole new section to tell their stories and share best practices for a healthy bioregion. We call it What Works. It’s where you’ll find regular reports on the business of creating what works for a better future.
