The Bill Hutton Award of Excellence is presented when deemed appropriate to an organization or a company, which has proven itself to be a friend above and beyond the call to RTDNA Canada.
Formerly known as the “Friend of RTDNA Canada Award” the award was renamed in 2009 to honour the late Bill Hutton, RTDNA Canada’s first president. The award is given to individuals or organizations which have shown a true commitment to RTDNA and the betterment of broadcast journalism in Canada.
