Ontario magazine for school principals wins Tabbie award

The magazine for Ontario's public school principals and vice-principals, The OPC Register, has won a goldTabbie award from Trade, Association and Business Publications International. It won a gold award for the profile of gay rights activist Dan Savage of the It Gets Better Campaign (Spring 2012 Vol. 14 No.1). The judging panel said of the article

"A compelling piece that conveys a big message to school executives about what they need to consider doing to help students of all sexual orientations. Thought-provoking, thorough coverage of a sensitive and timely topic. It seems to be an article that will be very useful to and well-received by the audience. The photos provide an added interest to the piece."

In addition, The Register won two honourable mentions for "Surviving Home Assignment Pending Investigation" in the opening page or spread category (Spring 2012 Vol. 14 No.1) and "Mental Health Guide for Schools" in the front cover, digital imagery category (Winter 2012 Vol. 14 No. 4).

The Register is published three times a year by the Ontario Principals' Council. The Tabbies are an annual international editorial and design competition.
