The first night of the Canadian Screen Awards were held on Tuesday at Toronto’s Westin Harbour Castle. During the ceremony, 50 winners in non-fiction programming were recognized. The annual gala celebration was hosted by Miguel Rivas of The Beaverton.

Named after the late environmentalist and Sharkwater filmmaker, the Rob Stewart Award For Best Science or Nature Program or Series went to The Wild Canadian Year. The award, presented by Daily Planet co-host Ziya Ton, is presented annually to the team behind an exceptional Science or Nature Documentary program.

Rob Stewart focused on the importance and urgency of preserving the natural environment. This Canadian Screen Award comes with a cash award of $25,000 presented to the producer (series) or director and producer (program).

Rob Stewart’s final movie, Sharkwater: Extinction, will release later this year.
