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 – Last week, Corriere Canadese interviewed five York Catholic District School Board (YCDSB) trustees: Rose Cantisano, Dino Giuliani, Maria Iafrate, Maria Marchese and Domenic Mazzotta. All of them of Italian background, although only one was born outside of Canada. They had had enough of the not-so-subtle, often overt, discrimination to which they were being subjected because of their “ethnicity”.
Covid crisis is almost two years now and it’s taking a toll on almost everything, including one we most need – friendship.
TORONTO – Yes, Nick Volpe, may he rest in peace, was related. As a high school student, I used to get that question a lot. He had recently retired as a Toronto Argonaut, a genuine and celebrated Grey Cup Championship hero. A Toronto boy, born and bred, and a real “class act” and “a problem solver”. →
