Who We Are
Official Languages Support Programs
Our Goal
- To promote French and English in Canadian society.
- To encourage the development of Francophone and Anglophone communities in minority situations.
Our Areas of Involvement
Co-operation with other governments
Our partnership with the provinces and territories aims to enable official-language minority communities:
- to have access to education in their mother tongue;
- to manage their schools;
- to receive provincial and territorial services in their own language;
and to enable all young Canadians:
- to learn French or English as a second language.
Community Development
Our support enables official-language minority communities:
- to establish and maintain organizations that will allow them to fully contribute to the economic, cultural and social aspects of Canadian life;
- to benefit fully from federal programs in all regions of the country through the co-ordination role that we undertake with other federal institutions.
Promotion
The bilingual character of our country is a fundamental part of our national identity:
- we emphasize its advantages and rewards both in Canada and abroad;
- we help voluntary organizations to reflect the bilingual character of our society in their own activities;
- we encourage activities that foster mutual understanding between Anglophones and Francophones.
