They didn't win the contest, but they did make the top three.

Richmond-based hip hop dance group Freshh – seven 13-17 year-olds including White Rock's Zac Vran –  were in contention right down to the last in Canada's Got Talent, the 22-episode Citytv contest co-judged by Martin Short that wound up in Toronto on Monday night with a win by three-man First Nations clogging troupe Sagkeeng's Finest.

As of Sunday night, Freshh, which won high praise throughout the contest for their tightly-synchronized highly energetic dance routines incorporating a wide variety of styles, had made a select group of three acts chosen from the 12 finalists.

Contemporary band Angry Candy, from Moncton NB, as well as Sagkeeng's Finest, from the Sagkeeng reserve near Fort Alexander, Man., joined Freshh as the acts chosen at the conclusion of the last performance show on Sunday night.

By the time viewer telephone votes were counted on Monday, it was clear that Sagkeeng's Finest had taken the top spot and the $100,000 grand prize as first season winners.

Sagkeeng's Finest also receive a Nissan GT-R and a spot on Citytv's New Year's Bash 2013 for their win.
