Three Chilliwack Progress reporters are finalists in 2021 BCYCNA (B.C. and Yukon Community Newspapers Association) Ma Murray Community Newspaper Awards.
Jenna Hauck is a finalist in the Feature Article award category, for a story she wrote about a father who rescued his two daughters after their truck plunged into Cultus Lake.
Eric Welsh is up for a Sports Writing award, for his feature on a hockey player whose life was forever changed by a concussion injury.
And Jessica Peters is a finalist in the Feature Photo award category, for a photograph taken while working at the Hope Standard, a sister newspaper to The Progress. The photo is of babies and their caregivers in a literacy preparation group.
The Ma Murray Awards will be held virtually for the second year in a row, on April 29.
