The Community at Stowel Lake Farm is proud to be hosting the Narwhal’s 2023 Corporate Retreat. We look forward to learning from this team of like-minded individuals who are affecting real change through non-profit journalism. We can’t wait!
The Narwhal is a leader in non-profit journalism in Canada and is supported by 5,000 members. In March 2021, The Narwhal became Canada’s first English-language registered journalism organization, which means all of our members and donors receive donation tax receipts. The Narwhal is also a member of the Institute for Nonprofit News, recognizing our adherence to strict standards of editorial independence and financial transparency. The Narwhal is a founding member of Press Forward, Canada’s association for independent media, and a proud partner organization of Covering Climate Now, a global journalism project to bring more coverage to climate issues.
The Narwhal’s reporting is frequently cited in The Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, CBC and others. We have collaborated with The Toronto Star, VICE World News, Chatelaine, The Weather Network and The Globe and Mail, while our Manitoba reporter is producing stories as part of an innovative partnership with the Winnipeg Free Press.
Since launching in May 2018, The Narwhal has been the recipient of several awards. In 2022, The Narwhal took home four awards from the Canadian Association of Journalists, two from the Digital Publishing Awards and one from the National Magazine Awards. In 2021, The Narwhal won a World Press Freedom award, the Canadian Journalism Foundation’s Jackman Award, a photojournalism award from the Canadian Association of Journalists, four National Magazine Awards and three Digital Publishing Awards, including gold for general excellence. In 2020, photographer Amber Bracken was awarded the Charles Bury President’s Award by the Canadian Association of Journalists for her outstanding contributions to journalism in Canada for her coverage of the Wet’suwet’en crisis for The Narwhal.
