Hi readers,

Last night team members from The Discourse and our sister publications gathered to watch the 2024 Canadian Online Publishing Awards party and I’m happy to share that The Discourse won two awards! We took home gold in the Best Blog Column category for “Analysis: Evidence-based solutions needed more than ever to tackle dual housing and toxic drug crises,” written by our editor Shalu Mehta. And The Discourse Nanaimo took home gold in the Best Local Community News category for “Vancouver Island’s ‘hidden epidemic’ and those fighting to understand it” by reporter Julie Chadwick. Congratulations to all of the finalists!

Also this week, I met some of the striking Cowichan Valley transit workers to learn more about why they are on the picket line. Read more about that below.

All the best,
