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 – Alcuni miei amici sono spirituali. Credono in un ultraterreno che riconosce un’entità superiore dalla quale scaturisce tutta la moralità e alla quale, in definitiva, dobbiamo tutti rendere conto. Altri si concentrano maggiormente sull’espressione manifesta di quella moralità vista attraverso le azioni (opere buone): la regola d’oro innata “fai agli altri ciò che vorresti fosse fatto a te”…
We publish a letter by Phil Hornak, a member of the TCDSB Parent Coouncils, which points out a series of issues that worry the families of students attending Catholic Schools in Toronto.
TORONTO – TCDSB staffing and contractors have been added and established to lay the cover deemed required in this less than genuine operation. The Parent Engagement Group, Integrity Commissioner and Social Media Group are excellent examples of these type of initiatives. Look and sound nice but facilitates what? How many parents are actually being reached by the schools or Board? →
