CTV News Toronto’s veteran anchor Ken Shaw declared his retirement during Friday’s six o’clock broadcast.
Shaw has been a staple in the homes of Toronto inhabitants for over 40 years, giving subtleties and advancements into stories unfolding over the city and around the globe.
Over his six-decade long career in communicating, Shaw has been perceived in a few limits.
Here is a look at his five most remarkable accomplishments throughout the years:
Chosen into the Canadian News Hall of Fame for 2018
A year ago, Shaw was inducted into the Canadian News Hall of Fame.
He was honoured at a function dinner held at The National Club in Toronto on Nov. 20, 2018.
Shaw referred to the honour as “humbling, to say the least” at the time.
There are 123 inductees in the Canadian News Hall of Fame, since 1965.
Named Best Local News Anchor at the Canadian Screen Awards in 2014
Very nearly six years prior, Shaw was named Best Local News Anchor at the Canadian Screen Awards.
Shaw accepted the honour at the ceremony held on March 4, 2014.
At the time, he stood on stage and thanked his behind-the-scenes team, as well as the newscast’s dedicated viewers.
Received the Order of Ontario in 2010
Nearly a decade ago, Shaw received the Order of Ontario.
He was given the province’s highest honour for his record of excellence in volunteer service in the Greater Toronto Area.
About 25 appointees are named each year.
Named honorary Chief of Toronto Police Services
Also about a decade ago, Shaw was named as a honorary Chief of the Toronto Police Service.
While not on-air, Shaw devotes a significant amount of time to various local charities and community initiatives, including serving as director of Pro Action Cops & Kids.
