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.

Nakalipas na G8-G20 Toronto 2010
Dahil sa mga nakalipas na magulong storia nang pag pupulong nang G8-G20, maraming tao na nakatira sa sioyoda nang Toronto nag alisan, at ang iba nag kulong sa kani kanilang bahay.
