<b><u>September 10 is Linguistic Duality Day!</u> #JDL2020LDD</b><br>
 
 
<br>
 
<br>
<b><u>Armchair discussion</b></u><br>
 
To celebrate Linguistic Duality Day, the Council of the Network of Official Languages Champions and the Canada School of Public Service are hosting a virtual talk: Official Languages in the Era of Telework. During this webcast, we will explore the challenges that this shift raises in terms of linguistic duality and discuss the opportunities it offers institutions to support English and French. <br>
 
Register now on the Canada School of Public Service [https://www.csps-efpc.gc.ca/events/offic-lang-telework/index-eng.aspx website] or at {{em|csps.learningevents-evenementsdapprentissage. efpc@canada.ca}}. <br>

<br>
<b><u>Promotional material</b></u><br>
 
The Council of the Network of Official Language Champions collaborated with the Language Portal of Canada to develop bold visuals (like the header above!) that you can use in your organization’s communications and events to celebrate Linguistic Duality Day. You can find the material in this [[Media: Visual-Visuel.zip | folder.]] <br>
