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 – There are now more than 500 new cases of Covid-19 in Ontario every day: today, Ontario health officials reported 526, after 511 on Sunday, 578 on Saturday, 510 on Friday and 513 in Thursday. Prior to Thursday, the province had not reported more than 500 cases in 24 hours since June 13, when 530 new cases had been registered. The seven-day average of Ontario is now 469, compared to 283 daily infections last week. →
VENICE – A paradoxical story, one of the many that in these “pandemic” months we have become accustomed to reading and telling. It is that of the Italians in Russia who are experiencing a real Odyssey during the summer holidays which for them have always represented an opportunity to review their beloved homeland and, of course, their family and friends of all time. →
TORONTO – Ontario’s Covid-19 immunization campaign continues unabated. While the provincial government has decided to bring forward phase 3 of its roadmap on reopenings, with the relaxation of numerous restrictions starting from Friday, at the local level the municipal administrations have decided to change strategy to reach more and more people in this fight against time: if in recent weeks the focus was on neighborhoods where the incidence of the Delta variant was greater , starting today, more doses of vaccine will be sent to areas where the vaccination rate is lowest. →
TORONTO – Ontario’s mass immunization campaign against Covid-19 continues unabated. The provincial government today announced an important milestone reached in the last few hours: one in two adults in the province has already received the first and second dose of vaccine. During a press conference Christine Elliott, together with Sollicitor Genral Sylvia Jones, reiterated that the vaccination campaign is not only meeting the timetable foreseen by the executive, but that even the numbers are higher than those budgeted. →
Life seems to appear a little more normal. Declining daily new infections and increasing vaccinations rates mean easing of more restrictions. A light at the end of a dark tunnel. At the current rate, Canada is on track to exceed its target of having all eligible Canadians fully vaccinated by the end of the summer.
