    W5

    W5 (1966–2024) was an hour-long weekly investigative journalism news magazine program that aired on CTV. Its name refers to the central questions of journalism known as the “Five Ws” — who, what, where, when and why. W5 was Canada's most-watched current affairs and documentary program. It was also North America’s longest-running prime time current affairs program. It inspired other similar programs, such as CBS’s 60 Minutes and the CBC’s The Fifth Estate. W5 won six Gemini Awards, including two for Best News Information Series, and 14 Canadian Screen Awards, including the Gordon Sinclair Award for excellence in broadcast journalism. It was cancelled as a stand-alone program in February 2024. W5 was retained as the name for CTV News’ investigative journalism unit.

    Canadian War Art Programs

    Since the First World War, there have been four major initiatives to allow Canadian artists to document Canadian Armed Forces at war. Canada’s first official war art program, the Canadian War Memorials Fund (1916–19), was one of the first government-sponsored programs of its kind. It was followed by the Canadian War Art Program (1943–46) during the Second World War. The Canadian Armed Forces Civilian Artists Program (1968–95) and the Canadian Forces Artists Program (2001–present) were established to send civilian artists to combat and peacekeeping zones. Notable Canadian war artists have included A.Y. Jackson, F.H. Varley, Lawren Harris, Alex Colville, Molly Lamb Bobak and Mary Riter Hamilton.
