Canadian Hillman Prize

Canadian Hillman Prize

Since 1950, the Sidney Hillman Foundation has honoured U.S. journalists who pursue investigative reporting and deep storytelling in service of the common good. In 2011, the Sidney Hillman Foundation inaugurated the Canadian Hillman Prize. We are pleased to offer this prize to Canadian journalists whose work makes a difference to the lives of Canadians.
