TORONTO – It’s another hellish weekend in many parts of Canada, and not only because of the summer heat but also, and above all, due to the wildfires. While we are writing this article, the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC) website – which is updated in real time, here – reports 500 active fires, all included (from those out of control to the contained ones) and many of these have created and are creating huge problems to the population.

Canadian National Multilingual Newsgroup
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.
