Congratulations to Laurie Block and Prairie Fire magazine, who won the best article gold medal that my Beaver magazine essay on 'Expo 67, um, didn't. Western Canada Magazines Awards has all the details.
Speaking of mags, the online daily Slate has essays on how to take kids to a museum and "how to write history in the absence of evidence." The second one is not quite as helpful as I wanted it to be, but hope springs eternal.
