The Centre for Investigative Journalism Award (1986–1990) was given for excellence in investigative journalism by Canadian journalists. It was administered by the Canadian Centre for Investigative Journalism (CIJ).
Founded in 1978,[1] CIJ began giving the awards in 1986.[2] The inaugural awards had just two categories: print and broadcast.[2] The categories were refined in 1987 to be newspaper, magazine, television, and radio.[3] The 1990 awards split the newspaper category into open newspaper and small newspaper, and the radio and television categories were each split into network and regional.[4] They were the final awards given under the organization's name before it was changed to the Canadian Association of Journalists (CAJ) the day after the awards ceremony.[5][6] The CAJ continued giving awards from 1991 onward under its new name.[7]
He was honored for an investigation into the federal government's decision to allow StarKist to ship cans of tainted tuna from its Saint Andrews, New Brunswick.[2] Fisheries minister John Fraser resigned as a consequence of the report, and millions of cans of tuna were recalled.[2]
They were honored for a series of articles on the mass arrest of 32 men who were charged with committing sex offenses in a washroom at a shopping mall in St. Catharines, Ontario.[2] The St. Catharines police department changed its procedures for handling such offenses as a result of the series.[2]
They were honored for their stories about five Soviet Red Army deserters they interviewed in Afghanistan who were being held captive by rebel Afghan forces, the soldier's petition for asylum in Canada, and the aborted mission to rescue them.[3][17] The reporters worked with the Department of External Affairs and International Trade to liberate the soldiers and bring them to Canada, and delayed publication of their stories until the soldiers were safe.[3]
Stories in Series:
"How bid to save six Soviet POWs in Afghanistan turned into fiasco", printed in The Leader Post on April 21, 1986[18]
"Why bid to save Soviet PoWs failed", printed in The Leader-Post on April 22, 1986[19]
He was honored for a report comparing the academic performance of students in Quebec and their counterparts in Europe.[3]
1987 Honorable Mention: Reporting staff of the Star-Phoenix,[3] including Verne Clemence, Earl Fowler, Deanna Herman, Kim Humphries, Gerry Klein, Daryl Oshanek, Bill Peterson, Sheila Robertson, Lorraine Stewart, Gary Taljit, Clarence Trotchie, Kathryn Warden, Peter Wilson, and Dave Yanko[20]
They were honored for their stories on the poor living conditions of the native population in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.[3]
Special Report:
"Natives in Saskatoon: A People Apart", October 7, 1986[20]
He was honored for his account of real estate flipping that greatly increased the price of an Oerlikon Aerospace land purchase.[13][22] The day after the story was published, Prime Minister Brian Mulrooney fired André Bissonnette, the minister of small business, and ordered the RCMP to open an investigation because of the suspicious timing of the transactions relative to Oerlikon being awarded a government contract.[23]
Story:
"How real-estate 'flip' forced up firm's cost for land", January 17, 1987[22]
1989 Honorable Mention: Bob Sarti, Chris Rose, and Kim Pemberton, The Vancouver Sun[16]
They were honored for a story about a three month investigation into links between Vancouver barber Gilbert Paul Jordan and the alcohol-relate deaths of at least nine native women he got drunk for sexual gratification.[16][24] Jordan was convicted of manslaughter the day before the series was published, and later sentenced to 15 years.[24]
He was honored for a story on Canadian servicemen held in North Africa and French prisoners of war who were never recognized by the Canadian government.[13]
