CCNC

The Chinese Canadian National Council (CCNC), known in the Chinese-Canadian community as Equal Rights Council (平權會), is an organization whose purpose is to monitor racial discrimination against Chinese in Canada and to help young Chinese Canadians learn about their cultural history.The organization was created in 1980, after an incident in September 1979 when the television network CTV incorrectly represented Chinese Canadians in an investigative show called W-FIVE. In a feature called "Campus Giveaways", CCNC spokesmen alleged CTV used incorrect statistics to conclude that foreign students were eroding other Canadians' opportunities for a secondary education and benefitting from public universities funded by Canadian taxpayers. All Chinese universities students were treated as a foreign student, regardless of their real nationality. The show also made numerous racial remarks about the Chinese students. The incident and the resulting campaign were reported in the Canadian media, some still available for viewing today on websites such as the Digital Archive of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
