Great choice by the NDP! Under Rick's direction Canadian Geographic has been nominated for more than 50 National Magazine Awards, was named Magazine of the Year by the National Magazine Awards Foundation and has been named Best Magazine of the Year three times by the Canadian Society of Magazine Editors.
