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.

Sia il direttore (Domenic Scuglia) che il presidente (Frank Alexander) ne hanno ceduto la responsabilità al sindacato degli insegnanti, OECTA e al suo presidente locale, un certo Mike Totten.

TORONTO – Infections are rapidly and steadily increasing among students and teachers. To raise the alarm, and at the same time to ask for the restoration of the mandatory nature of masks, is the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association (Oecta).
