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 – Nonostante la provincia dell’Ontario permetta da sabato ai residenti delle case di cura a lunga degenza di poter incontrare i propri cari all’aperto – seppur seguendo le linee guida – Patricia Tomasi, figlia di una anziana che risiede al Maple Health Centre, non può vedere la madre perchè
