The objective of this S ymposium is to discuss language policy in Canada\, with a particular empha sis on language minorities. The event focuses on Canada’s two official lan guages and their fate at the federal and provincial levels while also brin ging to the fore issues related to other languages present in Canada\, inc luding Indigenous languages.\n\nFollowing a short introduction\, a first p anel first panel will provide retrospective insights on official (and non- official or not-yet official) languages in Canada (i.e. a sort of “lay of the land” from the perspective of various language groups). A second panel \, will then look forward\, take a more prospective approach. It aims at f acilitating a conversation about the co-existence of Canada’s Official Lan guages with the recognition of Indigenous languages\, and arguably of the country’s rich linguistic diversity.\n\nSee the complete program [.pdf]\n \nThis event will be fully bilingual\, and will include simultaneous inter pretation.
