The Times in Canada

The Times in Canada
As Canada’s 150th birthday approaches, and with it debates over the nation’s identity,
we are presenting a mini-festival of New York Times journalism in Canada.
On May 9, the institute hosted a discussion with the Times reporters who wrote the
refugee sponsorship series, along with the immigration minister, Ahmed Hussen.
By DANIEL J. WAKIN The New York Times has been covering Canada since its first year of operation as a newspaper, in 1851.
It emphasizes journalism that relates to Canadians,
but also serves as a place for readers to speak to the reporters and editors, connect with each other and offer feedback.
Now, in the digital age, The Times has sharply raised its Canadian profile.
You are seeing more stories about issues of direct relevance to Canadians, but also pieces set in Canada that resonate around the world.
On June 22, Times journalists will conduct a public interview of Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau at the University of Toronto’s Martin Prosperity Institute.
