Encyclopedia > Chinavision Canada

Chinavision was a Canadian television channel.


It was launched in 1984 by Francis Cheng of Toronto, Ontario to provide a pay_TV station for Chinese language viewers in Toronto and Vancouver.


The station expanded to Edmonton and Calgary in 1987 by acquiring Cathay International Television. The station rights were later given to The Fairchild Group (owned by Happy Valley Investments Ltd via Mr. Thomas Fung) and Condor (owned by TVB Limited of Hong Kong) after receivership in 1990, later called The Fairchild Group to form Fairchild TV in 1993.

If Canada is to develop and maintain a distinct identity in a world where information knows no borders, it must continue to resist the temptation to create a generic ``world class'' culture, which can be interpreted as ``American clone culture,'' devoid of local flavour.
Canada's rapidly evolving body of human rights legislation, supported by a growing commitment to the principle of equity for all citizens, has created an environment in which artists in ethnocultural communities feel increasingly free to publicly exhibit and celebrate their arts.
