The Globe and Mail took home the most prizes at the National Newspaper Awards on Friday, with nine wins in the 23 regular categories.
The Toronto Star had the second-most wins, with six. The Chronicle Herald, Montreal’s La Presse and Reuters won two awards each, which celebrate the best in Canadian journalism.
Katrina Clarke and Jeff Hamilton of the Free Press were nominated for the George Brown Award for Investigations for their six-part series — called Building Blocks, Crumbling Foundation — published in June on the state of child care in Manitoba and related underlying issues.

The Canadian Press photographer Frank Gunn was nominated for a National Newspaper Award in the sports photo category for this image of Toronto Argonauts receiver Dejon Brissett being upended by Winnipeg Blue Bombers defensive back Tyrell Ford at the 111th Grey Cup in Vancouver.
Robert Cribb, Wendy-Ann Clarke, Declan Keogh and Owen Thompson of the Star won that category for their reporting on a program meant to fund mental health care for First Nations and Inuit people.
The Star also won the John Honderich Award for Project of the Year for its work on childhood sexual abuse and the complicated legacy of literary icon Alice Munro.
Aaron Beswick of the Chronicle Herald won the E. Cora Hind Award for Local Reporting for his coverage of the lawlessness in lobster and eel fisheries. He was also named Journalist of the Year.
The Globe led all newspapers with 16 nominations, followed by the Star with 15 and La Presse with 13. The winners were announced at a gala in Montreal.
Kari Medig of the Globe won in the feature photo category for an image of double amputee Oleksandr Budko and the Wild Bear Vets program. Two photographers — Winnipeg resident David Lipnowski for The Canadian Press and Shane Gross of the Globe — were nominated in that category for pictures taken in Manitoba.
Nathan Denette of The Canadian Press won in the sports photo category for an image of Canada’s men’s pursuit team at the Olympics. Frank Gunn of The Canadian Press was nominated for an image of a Toronto Argonauts receiver being upended by a Winnipeg Blue Bombers defensive back at the 111th Grey Cup in Vancouver.
Meanwhile, a Free Press sports reporter was first past the post at another awards gala earlier this week.
Mike McIntyre won in the writing category at the Jockey Club of Canada’s 50th annual Sovereign Awards.
The ceremony was held in Woodbridge, Ont., Thursday. The awards celebrate “outstanding human and equine achievements in Canadian thoroughbred racing and breeding.”
McIntyre won for his August feature on a former jockey who returned to riding nearly a decade after she was paralyzed in an accident at Assiniboia Downs.
“I’m very honoured to receive this prestigious award,” McIntyre wrote on social media.
Clarke and Hamilton’s child-care series is also nominated in the written news category at the Canadian Association of Journalists awards. The CAJ winners will be announced in Calgary on May 31.
