WHAT IS LANGUAGE ADVOCACY DAY?

Inspired by over 40 years of continuous effort by the Joint National Committee for Languages (JNCL), the objective of Canadian Language Advocacy Day (LAD) is to build an informal coalition of language rights advocates, individuals and organizations who will participate in an informational advocacy day at Queen's Park in 2021. The long term objective is to establish an ongoing language policy forum and explore the role of language within the context of social justice, education and economic recovery.

For the Canadian LAD to be successful, we need your help! Let us know about the language-related issues you care about. Our task is to connect you with your representatives and language advocates and create briefings and guidance about the process to help you feel confident in pursuing your agenda.
