OFFICIAL LANGUAGES DAY 2023

September 14, 2023

Our languages, a window on the world

Every year, we pay tribute to Canada's rich linguistic heritage on Official Languages Day (formerly known as Linguistic Duality Day). This year's event highlights the importance of Canada's official languages in shaping society's identity and building bridges to the wider world. It explores how languages are a window on diverse realities and opportunities, enabling us to discover and acquire new knowledge. Participants will discover little-known Canadian realities, in a spirit of sharing and respect aimed at developing a sense of belonging and commitment.

To celebrate Official Languages Day, the Council of the Network of Official Languages Champions and the Linguistic Duality Network, in collaboration with the Canada School of Public Service and other partners, are organizing an event open to the general public on September 14, 2023, from 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. (ET). It's a colorful event you won't want to miss.
