Canadian Language Advocacy Day - February 4th

 

 



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, virtual advocacy day at Queen's Park on February 4th, 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.

PEN Translation and Linguistic Rights Committee - TLRC

  Founded in Stockholm in 1978, the Translation and Linguistic Rights Committee believes that all languages and literatures have the right to be written, read and heard, whether spoken by millions of people across the world or by just a few. Through projects, events, publishing and campaigning, this committee encourages readers and writers to explore writing from cultures other than their own. It holds a conference every spring in Barcelona, which gives members of the PEN community the opportunity to share stories and exchange ideas with the goal of continuing to ensure that translation and linguistic rights are always at the heart of PEN International and its work.

Interactive map - how this works - Indigenous lands, territories, treaties and languages

Welcome. We are glad you are here. We encourage you to get in touch if you have found an error on our map. Our Mission: We strive to map Indigenous lands in a way that changes, challenges, and improves the way people see the history of their countries and peoples. We hope to strengthen the spiritual bonds that people have with the land, its people, and its meaning. We strive to map Indigenous territories, treaties, and languages across the world in a way that goes beyond colonial ways of thinking in order to better represent how Indigenous people want to see themselves.  We provide educational resources to correct the way that people speak about colonialism and indigeneity, and to encourage territory awareness in everyday speech and action.  See the map /.
