Cam Cowie and Clayton Dreger have been inducted into the Western Association of Broadcasters (WAB) Hall of Fame.

Cowie, Senior Vice-President & Chief Operating Officer at Harvard Media, and Dreger, the long-serving Sports Director at Golden West Broadcasting, are both set to retire this year. They were among those recognized at WAB’s Gold Medal Awards Gala on Thursday evening at Fairmont Banff Springs.

Jasmin Laine, morning show co-host at Evanov Communications’ Energy 106 (CHWE-FM) Winnipeg, was named the Broadcast Leader of Tomorrow.

Northern Native Broadcasting was awarded the Gold Medal for Digital Innovation for the CFNR Network’s broadcast of February’s All-Native Basketball Tournament.

The WAB Gold Medal for Community Service, under 150,000, went to Golden West Broadcasting’s Steinbach, MB stations, while C95 (CFMC-FM) Saskatoon won in the 150,000+ category, for its Radio Marathon for Breast Cancer Research. The initiative started in 2000, following morning show personality Lisa Rendall’s breast cancer diagnosis. Rendall passed away in 2011.
