The Canadian Ethnic Media Association and its prestigious Awards for Journalistic Excellence are the creations of Founder and Executive Director Sierhey Khmara Ziniak. His legacy lives on posthumously, as evidenced by the many media practitioners whose work bear testimony to CEMA's ongoing efforts to advocate for Canada's ethnic media, and to fight for their recognition as important voices for Canada.
Each year, CEMA recognizes the lifetime achievement of one such individual by awarding the Sierhey Khmara Ziniak Award. This final award for 2022 will be presented to Aldo Di Felice, President of TLN Media Group, for unswerving dedication to Multiculturalism and its affirmative expression through media.
CEMA is pleased to welcome back Ontario Creates as the Sponsor of its Annual Awards for Journalistic Excellence. Ontario Creates is an agency of the Government of Ontario that facilitates economic development, investment and collaboration in Ontario's creative industries.
