p2pnet news | TV:- Little Mosque on the Prairie, one of Canada’s favourite, newest and boldest CBC TV series, is to receive the ‘Search for Common Ground’ Humanitarian Award in New York and the ‘Canada Award’ at the 2007 Geminis.
The show features a Muslim community as it assimilates into a fictional rural town.
It’s now slated to also air in France, French-speaking Africa, Israel, Turkey, Dubai, Gaza and the West Bank.
Past recipients of the The Search For Common Ground Award include Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Ted Koppel, former US president Jimmy Carter, Muhammad Ali, Liberia president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, and ex-senator George Mitchell.

It honours excellence in mainstream TV programming reflecting the racial and cultural diversity of Canada, aiming to promote greater opportunities for ethnic and visible minority professionals within the broadcasting industry on both sides of the camera.
