3/ This story examined how federal contracts were awarded under Indigenous procurement programs. It prompted three parliamentary committee investigations and two audits, helping to spark important national conversations. Congrats team! https://t.co/TKEI8EvqFF
1/ The 2025 Michener Awards ceremony is this week, and a collaborative investigation by @globalnews, @INCA_FNUNIV & @kingsjournalism is included in a nomination! It’s part of a series on federal procurement. This is only the second time the Michener ever named student journalists
Students @gokceonnn@lfmussalem@catherinezens@han_sangster Emilie Wren & Celeste Bird poured their hearts into the investigation. Immensely proud of their efforts & excited for their futures as investigative journalists.
The Canadian government mostly relied on an honour system when it awarded billions of dollars in contracts to enterprises identifying as Indigenous, a spokesman told Global News.
