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.

Now, thanks to the decision of the Italian Council of Ministers, the little girl will be able to be admitted to the “Bambino Gesù” hospital in Rome, as the child’s (English) parents had requested.

TORONTO – One in three Canadians say they live in a family that is experiencing financial difficulties: this is what a new report from Statistics Canada reveals, according to which – therefore – approximately 13 million Canadians aged 15 years and older are part of families who found it difficult or very difficult to pay for necessary expenses such as transportation, shelter, food and clothing during the month of October.
