CTV Windsor reporter wins prestigious award

Congratulations to CTV Windsor reporter Rich Garton.

Garton was at the Radio Television Digital News Association Central Region Awards ceremony in Toronto on Saturday where he was presented with the Dave Rogers Award for Excellence in a Short Feature.

Garton's story focused on 19-month-old toddler Hunter Gaudette who, after intense surgery, was able to take his first steps.

The news team for radio station AM800 also received some hardware.

The radio station was presented with the Byron MacGregor award for Best Newscast Medium Market for their coverage of the major flooding experienced in Windsor-Essex last summer.
