Covering Canada's dynamic energy industry with thought-provoking insight and sophisticated design, Alberta Oil is a smart publication that serves its readers with in-depth reportage, stunning photography and innovative packaging. The judges called it "incredibly well reported… It sets a broad context for understanding the issues and simply makes you feel smarter."

The other two finalists for Magazine of the Year were Marketing and Retail News.

The award for Website of the Year goes to the website that most successfully fulfills its editorial mission, effectively serves its audience, maximizes use of the web, and represents the highest journalistic standards.

Providing industry coverage for French-Canadian financial advisors with a range of multimedia services, the web hub of Finance et investissement is as dynamic as it is informative, with original editorial content, interactive webinars and web TV.
