...A former member of the Royal Canadian Artillery, Cathcart
moved into broadcasting where his classic baritone voice was put to good use during a 30-year career with CBC radio and television.
As the parliamentary reporter in Ottawa, he covered federal elections, the 1972 Pierre Trudeau minority government and reported internationally, including from the Soviet Union.
D-Day anniversary commemorations subdued by pandemic restrictions for 2nd year
His time as Washington correspondent was particularly eventful, with Cathcart reporting on the Watergate scandal, the 1976 presidential election as well as the United Nations.
After returning to Canada, he took on the role of television news director at CBC Toronto, before coming to Vancouver in 1986 to co-host the CBC network show "The Best Years."
Post CBC, Cathcart went on to head up the international press centre at the 1994 Victoria Commonwealth Games and worked in media relations and consulting.
