Canada’s multiculturalism policy has been more successful in theory than in practice. Nevertheless, it is clear that the Canadian Multiculturalism Act has promoted some positive developments in various federal programs and institutions, including the Canadian broadcasting industry.

Canadian Broadcasting Corporation

Many of the key priorities of the Canadian Multiculturalism Act are entrenched into the Broadcasting Act of 1991. For example, Section 3(iii) declares that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), “through its programming and the employment opportunities arising out of its operations serve the needs and interests and reflect the circumstances and aspirations, of Canadian men, women and children, including equal rights, the linguistic duality and multicultural and multiracial nature of Canadian society and the special place of aboriginal peoples within that society.”

The CBC has incorporated this clause directly into its program policies, in particular Policy 1.1.4 (Multicultural Programming), in which the Corporation indicates its intent “to continue to reflect the multicultural richness and multiracial characteristics of Canadian society” in keeping with its long practiced policy of cultural pluralism in its programming. In practice, the CBC has moved gradually towards more comprehensive programming for all Canadians.
