CHIM FM is a broadcasting radio station airing live transmissions from Timmins, Ontario, Canada. The original concept came to Roger de Brabant in 1984, while he was working for OnTel and Christian Broadcasting was illegal in Canada. The breakthrough occurred on June 3, 1993, CRTC decision, which finally allowed Christian Radio Stations in Canada after prayer and waiting for many years on the Lord. De Brabant got to work on an application for a Christian station in Timmins as soon as he learned the good news.
The only Christian radio stations broadcasting at the time were those in Newfoundland, which had its two stations since before Confederation and was therefore exempt from the CRTC’s laws and regulations. On October 27, 1995, CHIM received approval and became Canada’s first non-profit Christian radio station. On December 24, 1995, on-air testing started, and on April 7, 1996, at 8:15 am glorious Easter Sunday, it went live. Roger de Brabant owned and managed the station and broadcast Christian music format. The station’s programming includes educational, entertainment, music, information, and sports shows. FM streams live around the world on the internet. It uses the tagline “Canada’s Good News Network.”

Its vision is to establish a Christian radio station in each Canadian town, city, and district.
