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 – The student of the David and Mary Thomson Collegiate, Jahiem Robinson, would have been killed with a single bullet exploded from close range. The suspect, who is only 14 years old and cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was arrested by the police: he is charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder.
TORONTO – Time is running out for the TCDSB and Catholic elementary teachers in Toronto to reach a deal in the labour dispute. The union representing Toronto Elementary Catholic Teachers (TECT) has given formal notice to strike at one or more schools as of January 31, 2022.
TORONTO – The students returned to the classrooms on Wednesday but a large number of teachers remained at home. It is an emergency in the school boards of the GTA that are rushing to hire substitutes to replace absent teachers due to, they say, “the high number of infections or contacts with people infected with Covid-19”.
TORONTO – Students from the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) and the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) returned to class today. After taking online classes for two weeks, Monday was supposed to be the day of the big comeback but a massive winter storm forced them to stay home for another two days. The reopening of schools took place – said the TDSB – following the “significant progress” that the city has made in clearing the main roads and secondary roads.
TORONTO – No certainty but many unknowns. It is a real leap in the dark that the students of Ontario are preparing to do tomorrow when, for the first time after the Christmas holidays, schools will reopen amid a thousand doubts.
