This time last year, the average Canadian might have struggled to pick Mark Carney's face out of a crowd.
Now he's among the most recognizable faces in the country, and was selected The Canadian Press Newsmaker of the Year in an annual survey of newsroom editors and leaders from across the country.
Canada is entering a new era of nation-building. From clean-energy corridors and critical-minerals projects to modern rail and port infrastructure, the federal government has committed to a decade of large-scale investment.
Join The Canadian Press on Thursday, Oct. 30 at 2 p.m. ET for a live webinar and Q&A as we share the inside scoop on what makes a story newsworthy to Canada's national news agency.
