Robert Irwin, Don Stoneman and Mary Baxter’s article, “Faith in Arlan Galbraith: Ontario’s Pigeon King” won the competition’s magazine category.
“We’re thrilled by the honour and pleased to see the agriculture beat highlighted,” says Better Farming’s managing editor Robert Irwin. “I thought it was interesting that of the five entries in our category, four had to do with agriculture or the environment.”
Published in December, 2007, the article explored the practices of Pigeon King International, a Waterloo-based pigeon breeding business.
The award was announced on Saturday at the association’s annual conference in Edmonton.
