Cheryl Bozarth Soll, the Nature Alberta President, was named the 2025-2026 Volunteer of the Year by the Alberta Magazine Publishers Association! 🥳✨

Congratulations to you, Cheryl! 💚🎊

Our heartfelt congratulations to Colleen Seto, the 2026 Editor of the Year recipient! ⁠
⁠
Colleen is the kind of editor who is at her best when donning several hats. Once officially on the RedPoint Media & Marketing Solutions team, she began to spread her wings, helping to shape not only the magazines within the growing Content Studio, but also with the company’s flagship editorial magazine, Avenue Magazine — Calgary.

Congratulations to Colleen! https://albertamagazines.com/awards/editor-of-the-year/

We are thrilled to announce that Kim Larson, Creative Director of Odvod Media Corp (Edify Edmonton) is the recipient of the 2026 Achievement in Publishing award! ⁠

She worked as the art director at those magazines for over a decade, simultaneously adding her magic touch to the esteemed Eighteen Bridges.
