Legion Magazine has won first place at the Gala Gutenberg awards for the outstanding printing and design of the 2013 special interest publication Canada’s Ultimate Story: Canada And The Victoria Cross.

The award was announced April 22 at a gala in Montreal.

The Gala Gutenberg awards are presented by the Printability and Graphic Communications Institute, formerly known as the Quebec Institute of Graphic Communications, to recognize excellence in graphics and the printing industry.

Printed at TC Transcontinental Quebec, the 100-page magazine published in the fall featured archival photos and illustrations and a text by historian Hugh A. Halliday. An embossed Victoria Cross was featured on its cover, designed by the magazine’s art department.
