<b><u>Save the date! 2021 Best Practices Forum in Official Languages</u></b><br>
<br>
<br>
The Council of the Network of Official Languages Champions, the Department of Canadian Heritage and the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat are pleased to invite you to the Best Practices Forum on Official Languages, which will take place on <b>March 3, 2021.</b><br>
<br>
<br>
The report provides an account of the governance and implementation of the official languages programs in all federal institutions; it addresses Part IV (Communications with and Service to the Public), Part V (Language of Work) and Part VI (Participation of English-speaking and French-speaking Canadians) of the Act.<br>
The Forum will be open to all Public Service employees and this year’s theme will be diversity and inclusion.<br>
<br>
<br>
On the agenda are two virtual talks organized in partnership with the Canada School of Public Service:<br>
<br>
<br>
We trust you will find the information in this report useful for managing the official languages program within your institutions. The launch of this report provides an opportunity to engage your deputy head and management group in reviewing your institution’s official languages performance.<br>
*<b>10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.</b>: A discussion on the tools developed to create a linguistically safe and inclusive workplace.
<br>
*<b>1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.</b>: A discussion on leadership in the promotion of English and French.
<br>
In parallel, various online activities will be organized throughout the week, including the presentation of various kiosks and videos presenting best practices. More details to follow in early 2021.<br>
<br>
We invite you to contribute to this event in your own way:<br>
*Have you developed an innovative initiative that could be showcased?
*Did you produce a video on the theme of official languages that could be featured?
*Would you like to reserve a virtual kiosk to present your best practices that could be useful to other organizations?
<br>
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, please fill out this form and email it to {{em|OLCEInformationCELO@tbs-sct.gc.ca}} before January 11, 2021. Your material could be selected and showcased during the Forum. Of course, you are welcome to take full advantage of this learning activity without presenting an initiative or reserving a kiosk.<br>
