Multiculturalism in Canada!

Multiculturalism is a broad topic, which both your parents and you, my fellow students, should be aware of. You should all understand that Canada is a multicultural, multiethnic, and multilingual country that makes it diverse in these aspects. Through these weblinks and the following resources, you will learn about how Ontario and the rest of Canada, as well as the rest of the world deal with ‘Multiculturalism.’ The first weblink that I would provide to you conveys what is Multiculturalism in Ontario Schools. The second website provides you with access to articles that are destined to teachers, and what Multiculturalism integrated in the School Curriculum really means to teachers and to your parents, and to you likewise. I have also devoted part of my research on weblinks that indicate: "What makes a school multicultural?" Furthermore, you will become aware of how the Scarborough Catholic Missions, celebrates multicultural activities which is mostly devoted to all cultures, but in particular, to Jamaicans, Trinidadians, Latinos, Guyanese, Bangladeshis, Filipinos, Tamils, Japanese, Koreans, and to the Chinese communities. I have also found one such link to a Video on Diversity & Multiculturalism. I have sought for a weblink that relays information on Racism, Multiculturalism and Immigration. These become key factors to you as students as they are crucial to your understanding about your classmates who are new-comers to Canada, thus you should treat them with mutual respect and that you help them cope with their ESL classes. Finally, I am displaying one such weblink that demonstrates how Canada has always been a country of immigrants and that Immigrant Children have always tried to cope with struggles that their parents and siblings face as new-comers to a new land.
