Welcome to the Canadian National Multilingual News Group (CNMNG). This is a project made possible through funding by Canadian Heritage. CNMNG aims to gather news researched and written by a corps of Canadian-based journalists/writers from the country’s multilingual community groups. The overall goal is to inform, analyze and critique the issues of the day in a professional manner and to provide that to publishers and editors active in the ethnocultural-multilingual press and media whose experience provides them with a perspective that is sensitive to news relevant to their own language group.
TORONTO – Booking the booster dose of the Covid-19 vaccine has become a titanic undertaking. At least in Ontario. Since yesterday all the adults in the province who received the second dose at least three months ago can do the third dose but most of those who have tried to book online on the government portal, have been speechless: there are no places in January, the recall will be possible to do it starting from February.
