Elise also competed in a competition to design a virtual trading pin for the event.  Her design was selected as the official CWSF Pin from submissions from across the country.

Broadcast Dialogue has announced the winners of the inaugural Canadian Radio Awards, which we’ve dubbed “The Howards” after our publisher emeritus Howard Christensen.
