The Globe and Mail received the award for three investigative reports which were treated as a single entry by the judges: 'Behind the Boom, The Story of York Region', 'Entrepreneurial Immigration' and 'Ontario Boxing Scandal'
The Michener Award for meritorious and disinterested public service in journalism is the only Canadian journalism award bearing the name of a governor general and it differs from most such awards in that it goes to the organization, not to individuals.
