Intercontinental Hotel Toronto Centre - Ballroom
 

Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating the very best in Canadian journalism.
 
The 2026 Radio Television Digital News Association Awards Gala marks a new chapter as we gather at the newly renovated Chestnut Conference Centre in the heart of downtown Toronto. With its modern, stylish atmosphere, this refreshed venue offers the perfect setting to honour excellence in broadcast and digital journalism from coast to coast.
More than 200 journalists, editors, producers, and media leaders from across Canada are expected to attend this national celebration. From coast to coast, we’ll recognize the power of journalism to inform, challenge, and inspire.
This year’s gala builds on the momentum of last year’s sold-out event. Our revamped sponsorship opportunities provide brands with more visibility, hands-on engagement, and immersive activation options—connecting you directly with Canada’s top media professionals.
