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 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, the Canadian Ethnic Media Association recognizes the lifetime achievement of one such individual by awarding the Sierhey Khmara Ziniak Award. This year’s recipient is David Martin Shulist, of Wilno, Ontario, advocate for the Kashubian Language and Culture, for his unswerving dedication to Multiculturalism and its affirmative expression through media and community engagement.

In its 45th year, the Canadian Ethnic Media Association is fresher and more innovative than ever before. The Annual Awards for Journalistic Excellence is enjoying a surge of growth and far-reaching development. It has propelled the organization into a contemporary presence reflecting the present national – literally coast-to-coast – showcase of Canada’s finest ethnic media practitioners.
