  • Chin Radio and Its Listeners: a Negotiation in the Post-War Commerce of Ethnicity
    3-Amatiello:0Syrimis 5/25/12 1:43 PM Page 63 CHIN RADIO AND ITS LISTENERS: A NEGOTIATION IN THE POST-WAR COMMERCE OF ETHNICITY MICHELE AMATIELLO Summary : Canadian broadcasting underwent a period of transition fol - lowing the Second World War. Government officials attempted to re- structure radio to serve as an instrument for assimilation which would assist new Canadians in understanding Canadian culture and customs. In 1966, CHIN Radio AM 1540 was formed in Toronto by Johnny Lombardi. It became Ontario’s first foreign-language radio station. This study asserts that CHIN Radio provided its listeners an opportunity to negotiate their ethnicity on a daily basis, while it simultaneously worked to assist new Canadians to learn about Canadian culture and customs. These listeners must be viewed as active protagonists, who actively took advantage of the services and entertainment CHIN provided . The formation of CHIN radio occurred during a time of transition with - in Canadian broadcasting. Government officials were concerned with assisting the very large number of immigrants who arrived in Canada fol - lowing the Second World War. In this effort they turned to radio broad - casting and re-structured it to function as a post-war tool which would assist new Canadians in understanding Canadian culture and customs. Their ultimate aim was to foster “good.” Canadian citizens. 1 Foreign-lan - guage programming would no longer be regulated in a lackadaisical man - ner, as it had been before World War II. Instead, it would work to address the post-war immigration “problem.” This paradigm shift altered what was then referred to as “ethnic” broadcasting.

The language in this transcript is as it was provided by the transcriptionist noted above. The project staff have not edited this transcript for errors. ABSTRACT Aldo Bacci was born October 28, 1924 in Detroit, Michigan. In this interview, Aldo talks about growing up in the Italian communities of Detroit and Toronto, and his family's experiences as Italian-Canadians during the Second World War. Aldo’s father, Ruggiero Bacci, served in the Italian Army, and came to Canada at the age of 17. Ruggiero was a member of the Fascist party, and he remained in close contact with Italy while he was in North America. Ruggiero was also a prominent member of many Italian organizations, including the Casa D’Italia. Aldo recalls riding home on the streetcar in June of 1940 and seeing a man reading a newspaper with a headline declaring that Italy was going to war. Ruggiero was at work at the time when he was picked up by the police. His wife had a nervous breakdown because of this, and although Aldo had just finished Grade 9, he had to quit school and start working.

    MORE THAN LETTER FROM THE CHAIR JUST A UNION! The Toronto Azzurri Soccer Wall of Fame When the new Toronto Azzurri Soccer Club was conceived and our vision to build a Soccer Center of Excellence was approved in 1999, we could not have understood then how important the project would become. After numerous years of great memories from the love and passionate sacrifice given by so many, it is with great honour and pride that tonight we launch The Toronto Azzurri Soccer Wall of Fame. As efforts continue to develop aspiring Canadian soccer youth, the Toronto Azzurri Youth Sport Village through its programming, will do its part to pass on our knowledge and experience to those we touch in our community. However, unless we educate the new arrivals about the stories of our heroes, and what it took for our pioneers and builders to lay the game’s foundations in our great city, we cannot complete their sport education. On behalf of all the people who lit the torch, who persevered, led only by their hearts and passions, to those who dared to risk and fail, and finally to The LiUNA Families are proud to be part those who inspired us to be the best that we could be, I can offer only my sincere and eternal thanks. of the Toronto Azzurri Soccer Clu b and Tonight’s first twelve honourees are just the beginning. There are so many who deserve to be recognized. This ceremony will occur annually so please help by assisting us to select those who deserve our appreciation.

  • Quaderni D'italianistica : Revue Officielle De La Société Canadienne
    A CENTURY AND MORE OF ITALIANS IN TORONTO: AN OVERVIEW OF SETTLEMENT GABRIELE SCARDELLATO Summary. Through the use of various pubUshed and original sources this study outHnes the reception and settlement of Italian immigrants in a modern Canadian urban environment. Substantial Italian migration and immigration to Toronto began in the late nineteenth century. The first migrants and immigrants were dispersed across at least four relatively dis- tinct, inner-city neighbourhoods. Overtime, and in particular after World War Two, one of these neighbourhoods grew to become one of the largest settlements of its type outside of Italy. Now in the process of gen- trification, the area known as College Street Little Italy served a pivotal role in the accommodation of Italian immigrants in Toronto. When the late Robert F. Harney began to contemplate a comprehensive study on Italians in Toronto in the post-World War Two period he looked for his inspiration beyond urban studies and beyond the history of Italian migration, immigration, and settlement to works of the imagination—in particular to literature and to historiography—specifically the novels of the Italian-Cuban author Italo Calvino and the historiography of Hayden White. Over time Harney's musings about Italians and their settlement(s) in Toronto appeared in a number of related essays. These reveal interesting developments in his thought that will prove useful for the present effort.' One of Harney's first essays on Italians in Toronto, although primari- ly concerned with pre-World War I history, includes in its title the sugges- tive term chiaroscuro—normally associated with the study of art—and opens with a paragraph on the considerable demographic and related impact of Italian immigration to "Toronto the Good" in the post-World War II period.2 The article is an abridged version of another by the same tide that had appeared some nine years earlier (in the mid-1970s), when ^Part of the research on which this study is based was made possible through my tenure as the Research Fellow of the Mariano A.
