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.

Tonight, trustees at the Halton Catholic District School Board (HCDSB) will hold a special meeting to discuss the motion to fly the Pride flag during the month of June.
At last week’s meeting (April 20), the Board heard from five delegates regarding a motion titled “Supporting our Diverse School Community”. Trustee Brenda Agnew initially presented the motion at an earlier Board meeting on April 6.
