War, right whales and inaccessibility: CBC Atlantic's award-winning work
The Radio Television Digital News Association handed out dozens of awards at the event.
The Summerside boy learned his great-grandfather served in the Second World War and set about amassing a collection of helmets, boots and disabled bullets.
A blast that shaped a city
With help from the Toronto interactive team, A City Destroyed: The Halifax Explosion 100 Years Later was part of the CBC's in-depth coverage of the centenary of the First World War disaster and how it shaped the city for generations to come.
Plight of the right whales
Deep Trouble: The Perils of the Right Whale won the Ron Laidlaw Award for Continuing Coverage (Television: National).
The Dan McArthur Award for In-Depth or Investigative Reporting (Multi-platform: National) went to CBC New Brunswick's Karissa Donkin and Shane Fowler.
Their multi-part series on the neglect of vulnerable children in that province included an advocate's passionate plea that "providing more information, shedding more light, being more transparent when these kinds of tragedies arise allows all of us to be better citizens and to look out for the interests of kids."
At the awards gala in Toronto, CBC stations across the country picked up a total of 51 awards.
