It is my pleasure to announce that YardStick magazine was awarded Naylor's President's Excellence Award for Best State/Provincial or Regional Publication of the Year for 2010. This is quite an accomplishment given that Naylor produces over 700 magazine titles annually for its association partners in Canada and the U.S.

YardStick was recognized for excellence in design, content and usefulness for association members. The publication serves as an excellent example of Naylor's work and the successful relationship built between association, advertiser and publisher.

Winnipeg dropped one spot this year compared to 2010 when we were number nine. Ottawa retained its top position. The magazine says Ottawa is "remarkably consistent, typically scoring above average in just about every category."
