The RTDNA awards are presented for the best in audio, video and digital journalism in local news across the country.
The project, led by Concordia University Department of Journalism Associate Professor Aphrodite Salas, shares the story of the Inuit community of Inukjuak, Que. that is moving off diesel fuel with the construction of a massive hydroelectric project, providing clean energy to residents.
"It was an honour to share this story of Inuit resilience, self-determination and climate leadership. My deepest thanks to Sarah Lisa Kasudluak, Eric Atagotaaluk, Tommy Palliser, Aalicie Nalukturuk and the community of Inukjuak for welcoming us and building new relationships with us in our efforts to respond to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Call to Action 86 in a meaningful way," said Salas.
