At a
ceremony on May 11, 2000 the National Archives (NA) of Canada
and CFMT-TV formed a partnership. Under its terms, a collection
of diverse television programming produced on video by CFMT,
will be preserved by the NA. These video clips are the first
donation of their kind received by the NA.
When you
click on to the broadcasts, you will hear Italian and Chinese
rather than either of the two official languages. As Madeline
Ziniak, Vice-President and Executive Producer said on the day of
the ceremony, the programming that CFMT has donated forms
"a unique record of Canadian voices".
We are
grateful to CFMT for this addition to our media fonds, and hope
you will enjoy their bequest as one of the benefits of Canadian
citizenship.
