The results are in and dance group Conversion, from Trois-Rivières, Quebec, is the winner of Canada’s Got Talent (CGT) season two! 

Conversion is recognized for its synchronized routines involving elegant movements and captivating emotion. 

The group famously received a Golden Buzzer this season from judge Trish Stratus’ Golden Buzzer.

The dance group has won a $150,000 prize and financial advice to fund future ambitions, as well as the opportunity to perform in “America’s Got Talent Presents: SUPERSTARS Live” at the Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

It was a tight race overall for Conversion, as they were competing against fellow Quebec dance group, The Cast. In third place was The Turnball Brothers and in fourth, Maeve.

Citytv has approved season three of Canada’s Got Talent with an even larger prize of a whopping one million dollars for the winner, courtesy of Rogers. This would be the biggest cash prize in Canadian television history. CIBC will also be giving six season 3 Golden Buzzer acts $25,000 each, totalling $150,000.

“As another incredibly entertaining season comes to an end, we are proud to support next season’s winner of Canada’s Got Talent with resources to help achieve their lifelong goals. As a proud Canadian company, we are committed to nurturing and investing in Canadian talent,” President & CEO of Rogers Tony Staffieri said in a statement Tuesday night. 

“We are excited to see what next season will bring and ultimately witness the winner’s remarkable achievements and be a part of their extraordinary success,” he added.

Canada’s Got Talent Judge and comedian Howie Mandel is excited for what’s to come in the next season. 

“Each season inspires the next, and the fact that Rogers is giving us an opportunity for another season, with the biggest cash prize in Canadian television history, not only promises that it will be bigger and better but that we are now putting Canada’s Got Talent on the world stage,” he said in a statement.

Canada’s Got Talent remains Citytv’s most-viewed original series in over a decade, with over 6.5 million viewers tuning in to each season.
