A Word from the President – Announcing the Mary Ann Shadd Cary recipients 

Bonjour CMG members, 

I’m delighted to inform you that three CMG members have been selected as recipients of The Mary Ann Shadd Cary Fellowship for Black Journalistsand will be part of their Delegation to the National Association of Black Journalists Convention taking place in Chicago from July 31st to August 4th. 

At our April meeting, the CMG NEC adopted the following motion:  

The CMG will provide the Canadian Delegation to the National Association of Black Journalists Convention the sum of $2000 Canadian dollars to support their participation in said Convention. In exchange, the Canadian Delegation will prepare a brief report for the CMG on what they learned at the Convention that includes recommendations on how the CMG can further support its Black members.  

I look forward to the report from the Delegation. Congrats to the recipients:
