Recognition of differences is one of many ways that we promote inclusive learning and working environments. With that in mind, I am pleased to announce that the month of June is National Indigenous, Italian and Portuguese Heritage Month.” National Indigenous History Month Trustee M. Van Beek made the following remarks. “June is National Indigenous History month. National Indigenous History Month is a time to acknowledge the role Indigenous peoples played in the development of Canada, to honour Indigenous heritage and to celebrate Indigenous cultures. BOARD MEETING MINUTES – PUBLIC SESSION PAGE 3 JUNE 12, 2018 ______________________________________________________________________ At the York Region District School Board, work continues to increase student achievement and staff understanding about First Nation, Métis and Inuit perspectives, cultures and histories. Over the past school year, hundreds of staff members and thousands of students have expanded their knowledge of Indigenous cultures and the history of the First People in Canada through student-led workshops, curriculum learning and connections with Indigenous communities. This includes: Students at Markham District High School, Bill Hogarth Secondary School and Pikangikum First Nation building connections and learning more about one another through personal photo stories with the Youth for Reconciliation project. Schools, such as Bayview Secondary School and E.T. Crowle Public School, working with Indigenous Artists-in-Residence to learn more about culture and to express their learning through artwork. Holding events, like the student conference Celebrating Indigenous Ways and Learning at Markham District High School and an Indigenous author visit at Richmond Green Secondary School. Over 900 secondary and 750 elementary students, and 150 staff learning more about treaties from members of Indigenous communities during Treaty Recognition Week events. These are just a few examples of the wonderful learning taking place across our system. We will continue to provide supports to ensure that all students of First Nation, Métis and Inuit ancestry have opportunities to be successful. On behalf of the York Region District School Board, I am happy to recognize June as National Indigenous History Month.” Italian Heritage Month Trustees A. DeBartolo and L. Aversa made the following remarks. “Italian Heritage Month provides us with the opportunity to learn about the contributions to our society by members of this passionate, vibrant cultural community. The Italian-Canadian community significantly influenced the social, cultural, and economic fabric of Canada. One of their most important contributions was in the area of labour reform in Ontario. As more Italians permanently migrated to Canadian cities, they excelled in the construction industry in certain urban centres. By the 1960s, more than 15,000 Italian men worked in Toronto’s construction industry, representing one third of all construction workers in the city. Workplace safety and labour relations during this time BOARD MEETING MINUTES – PUBLIC SESSION PAGE 4 JUNE 12, 2018 ______________________________________________________________________ lacked regulation. This issue was brought to public attention after the Hogg’s Hollow Disaster in 1960 when five Italian workers were killed after becoming trapped in a tunnel while laying a water main. This event sparked an inquiry that pointed to the failure of Ontario’s workplace safety legislation and the lax enforcement of these laws by the Department of Labour. A Royal Commission was called to investigate workplace safety legislation, recommending a number of updates to the law, specifically in the construction industry. The Hogg’s Hollow Disaster additionally motivated Italians in the construction industry to take on an advocacy role, prompting two strikes over better pay, union recognition, and safer working conditions. Italo-Canadians have had a great impact and influence on our taste in food, fashion, recreation, art, theatre and music. In 1966, Johnny Lombardi launched Chin Radio broadcasting in 30 different languages. Italian Canadians are also very active in political life. The first Italian immigrants to Canada primarily settled in Toronto, Montreal, and to a lesser extent Vancouver, but also established homes in mining and industrial towns across the country. Many of the men who migrated seasonally returned to Italy, but some remained in Canada either because they were unable to make enough money for the passage or they found opportunities in Canadian cities. The labourers that remained formed the basis of Italian communities in Canada, giving rise to ethnic enclaves known as “Little Italys” in the major urban centres. After arriving in Canada, Italian immigrants faced many difficulties and challenges as they learned the language and adjusted to the rhythm of life in their new country. The majority of the Italian immigrants travelled to Canada by ocean liner, landing at Pier 21 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Canadian Italians are very proud of the contributions to this country. On behalf of the York Region District School Board we are happy to recognize June as Italian Heritage Month.” Portuguese Heritage Month Trustee J. Nathan made the following remarks. “The month of June has been proclaimed as Portuguese History Month in Canada. June 10 in particular is a day of significance to the Portuguese community. On this day, people of Portuguese descent celebrate the life of Luis de Camoes and his many famous poems that narrate the history of Portugal. Portugal has a history of producing many great explorers and navigators. It was over 500 years ago, that Portuguese explorers first arrived in Canada. BOARD MEETING MINUTES – PUBLIC SESSION PAGE 5 JUNE 12, 2018 ______________________________________________________________________ In 1501, a Portuguese explorer, Gaspar Corte Real, explored the northeast coast of Newfoundland and found and named Conception Bay and Portugal Cove. He then sailed up the coast of Newfoundland and named the land he found ‘Labrador,’ which means ‘farmer’ in Portuguese. In the ensuing years, people of Portuguese heritage have continued to arrive, settle and raise families in Canada. The Portuguese community continues to make many significant contributions to our country, our province and to York Region. On behalf of the York Region District School Board, I am happy to proclaim June as Portuguese Heritage Month.” Pride Month Trustee L. Carruthers made the following remarks. “At the York Region District School Board, we are

  • 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.
