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.

TORONTO – Tomorrow, 11 November, would be Remembrance Day, the day we remember the people who fought and died to protect Canada in past wars. That would be, because there’s a… problem: a lot of Canadians don’t have the faintest idea what these wars are.
