The diversity of the peoples within the global community is, to a significant extent, reflected in the diversity of Canadians. In fact, the United Nations considers Canada the most "ethnically" diverse nation, with Toronto as the most diverse city, on the globe. Within the Canadian context this does not imply restricted enclaves as there is, in a relative sense, much interaction.

This can be seen in census data where multiple origin identifications account for a third of the population; however, more telling is the day-to-day interaction that takes place between Canadians.

It is the dynamics created within this "interactive" Canadian society that will provide the material for WTM's Canadian programming. News journals, the arts, TV series, comedies, film and documentaries will reflect the creativity and conflicts that exist within the reality of our diversity.

WTM's world programming will link Canadians to the diversity of the globe's peoples. For some, this will be a heritage connection; for others, a reflection of the cosmopolitanism that emerges from our "interactive" diverse society.
