{{no footnotes|date=March 2013}} The '''Canadian Broadcast Hall of Fame''', started in 1982, recognizes Canadians in [[broadcasting]] or entertainment related industries who have "achieved outstanding success in helping raise industry standards from a material or humanitarian standpoint." The CAB Hall of Fame honours, in perpetuity, men and women whose contributions had demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to innovation, development and maintaining the highest standards of excellence in broadcasting generally, particularly in Canada. Candidates are nominated annually by Canada's five broadcasting associations and the executive committee of the [[Canadian Association of Broadcasters]] ("CAB"). The name of each inductee is inscribed in bronze on the [[Hall of Fame]] plaque at the CAB offices in [[Ottawa]]. Personalized plaques are also presented to either the inductees themselves or to their families. ==Inductees include (partial list)== * [[Warren Barker (broadcaster)]], journalist and news director of [[CKNW]] from 1959-1991 *[[Gerry Acton]], former vice president, Canadian Association of Broadcasters * [[Bryan Adams]], singer *Murray McIntyre (Jerry) Forbes * [[Celine Dion]], singer * Dr. [[Charles A.
