“I want to recognize CHIN Radio on its 60th anniversary. It broadcasts in more than 50 languages to over 100 cultural communities.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an institution that has helped tell and shape the stories of a multicultural Canada for 60 years, CHIN Radio. When founded in 1966 by the late Johnny Lombardi, who was a proud son of Italian immigrants, CHIN gave a voice to newcomers from around the world and helped pioneer multicultural broadcasting in Canada. Today, under the equally visionary leadership of his son, Lenny Lombardi, CHIN continues to build on that remarkable legacy, broadcasting to over 100 cultural communities in more than 50 languages. As Toronto prepares to celebrate the Taste of Little Italy festival this weekend, we honour the Lombardi family’s lasting contributions. We thank Lenny, and everyone at CHIN Radio, on the 60th anniversary of a remarkable institution that has helped to build an inclusive, vibrant Canada. Grazie.
