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.

O Conselho Escolar do Distrito de Toronto (TDSB, na sigla em inglês) vai em breve pedir aos pais que escolham se os seus filhos vão regressar às salas de aula ou continuarão com o ensino à distância. Em setembro, é claro. Mais nada foi dito sobre este mês e meio que sobra do corrente ano letivo. O Ministro da Educação, Stephen Lecce, não fala sobre isso, os conselhos escolares nada dizem sobre o assunto, e os pais deduzem que vai acabar com os seus filhos a terem aulas online. →
