Official Languages Day is an opportunity to promote official languages and to celebrate the rich linguistic heritage found across the country. Marked annually, it highlights the central role that official languages play in forging Canadian identity and the values of the federal public service.
With the theme of “Uniting Around Canadian Books,” this event will focus on the diversity of Canadian voices and the importance of literature in discovering, learning about and building bridges between two official language communities in Canada.
Participants will be introduced to books that reflect different Canadian realities to help them gain new insights into the role of literature in intercultural Canadian dialogue.
This event is organized by the Council of the Network of Official Languages Champions in partnership with the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat and Canadian Heritage, and in collaboration with the Linguistic Duality Network.
