The Winkler Community Foundation recognized its 2016 Citizen of the Year Thursday night. Terry Elias is probably most well known locally as the President and CEO of Triple E Canada based in Winkler.

Continuing the legacy of his his grandfather, Triple E founder and past Citizen of the Year Peter Enns, Terry has made it an integral part of the company's culture to give back to the community whenever it can and in a variety of ways.

Reporter Steven Sukkau spoke with Terry at the end of the evening, and asked him how he felt to win the award.
