Journalists with CBC Quebec and the CBC Cree unit have been recognized with regional and national awards for their work in 2023.

On Nov. 2, Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) Canada awarded six Best Canadian Local News awards to CBC journalists in Quebec.

The winners had previously taken home awards in their respective categories for the Central Canada region earlier this fall.

CBC national and Indigenous colleagues based in Quebec also took home 3 RTDNA National Awards of Excellence at the same event.

RTDNA Canada represents broadcast and digital journalists and news managers in the country, and these awards honour the best journalists, programs, stations and news gathering organizations in radio, television and digital media.
