Front-row seat to history: National news agency The Canadian Press marks 100 years
General manager of The Canadian Press Gillis (Gil) Purcell reads news stories off the wire at the news gathering co-operative offices in Toronto in this 1963 file photo. The Canadian Press, the national news service that was created during the First World War to bring home stories from the European front — and went on to become the country's go-to, real-time source — turned 100 Friday.

Its news stories, photos, videos and radio broadcasts, in both official languages, appear in almost every media outlet in the country, yet readers or listeners are often unaware of their source.
