A Manitoba Co-operator feature on the past, present, and future of Indigenous agriculture in the province has earned a gold medal at the Canadian Online Publishing Awards.

The Sept. 29, 2022 feature “Back to the land: ‘We used to plant hay here’” by reporter Geralyn Wichers was one of five finalists for Best multicultural story in the COPAs’ B2B (business-to-business) division.

Two other Glacier FarmMedia products earned silver in the B2B division: #ICYMI, an ongoing weekly short video roundup of Canadian farm news, for Best video content; and Between The Rows, GFM’s weekly podcast series, for Best podcast.
