Official-language minority communities are a cornerstone of Canada’s identity and culture.
The Honourable Randy Boissonnault, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Official Languages, announced investments of nearly $5 million to support official languages in Alberta.
Community organizations and the provincial government will benefit from this support, provided through the Department of Canadian Heritage’s Official Languages Support Programs (see the attached backgrounder for more details). These programs enhance the vitality of official-language minority communities, in addition to promoting, spreading and preserving linguistic duality across the country.
The Government of Canada is investing close to $2.5 million in 2023–2024 through the various components of the Official Languages Support Programs.
