The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) playoffs of the sixth annual Chartered Institute of Management Accountant\u2019s (CIMA) Mayor\u2019s School Cricket Championships gained publicity in \u201cSouth Asian Generation Next\u201d (June 9, 2016), \u201cHindi Abroad\u201d (June 10, 2016), \u201cThe Weekly Post\u201d (June 10, 2016) and the English-language \u201cAsian Post\u201d section of \u201cThe Urdu Post\u201d (June 9, 2016).
\nThe coverage in \u201cSouth Asian Generation Next\u201d includes 14 photos. Ten of the photos feature participating school cricket teams, four feature key guests, sponsors representatives and event organizers. Brampton Mayor Linda Jeffery was the chief guest. The report mentions local MPP Vic Dhillon and Councillor Gurpreet Dhillon attended the championship playoffs. Mahes Wickramasinghe, Chief Strategy Officer – Canadian Tire, spoke on behalf of lead sponsors\u2019 Sport Chek and parent company Canadian Tire.<\/p>\n
Reports in \u201cSouth Asian Generation Next\u201d and \u201cThe Weekly Voice\u201d confirm the winners of the four sections of the 2016 CIMA Mayor\u2019s School Cricket Championship as: Sunny View Middle School, Brampton (Girls Middle Schools); Charles Gordon Middle School, Toronto (Boys Middle Schools); York Memorial CI, Toronto (Girls High Schools) and Woburn CI, Toronto (Boys High Schools).<\/p>\n
Coverage in \u201cHindi Abroad\u201d includes a photo of Brampton\u2019s Sunny View Middle School girls team, winners of the Girls Middle Schools GTA championship. York Memorial Girls team was selected for colour photo coverage supporting the report in \u201cThe Weekly Voice\u201d. The players are pictured wearing shirts with the Canadian Tire and Sport Chek logos<\/p>\n
The \u201cAsian Post\u201d section within the \u201cUrdu Post\u201d mentions ATN\u2019s (Asian Television Network\u2019s) Kenty Khan acted as Master of Ceremonies for the presentations. ATN is noted as a media sponsors of this event.<\/p>\n
There did not seem to be any Canadian cricket content in a range of newspapers I gathered around the Hurontario\/Dundas intersection in Mississauga on Friday afternoon (June 10, 2016), although some locally produced Sri Lankan newspapers may well feature the CIMA Mayor\u2019s GTA cricket playoffs.<\/p>\n
\u201cSouth Asian Focus\u201d (June 9, 2016) and \u201cSouth Asian MidWeek\u201d (June 7, 2016) have reports about the first high school Kabaddi Festival. A Peel District School Board trustee said this was the first Kabbadi high school tournament in North America.<\/p>\n
I must admit that my survey is incomplete if there was any written report that was not supported by any photo about the CIMA Mayor\u2019s GTA playoffs in a number of newspapers published in a range of South Asian languages, such as Urdu, Gurjarati, Hindi and Punjabi. The Caribbean, Afro-Caribbean and Indo-Caribbean newspapers I found on Friday\u2019s travels did not seem to have any Canadian cricket content.<\/p>\n
Some of the range of South Asian and Caribbean community orientated newspapers do not print on a weekly basis, so coverage of the CIMA GTA Championships may be included in the next issue of such newspapers. A tournament on June 4th would not, for example, be expected to appear in the June issue of a monthly newspaper, but the July issue has potential to include a report and a picture or two.
