Resources Time: Heritage Language

resources time: English eventually became our home language, according to Globe and Mail. While it's unfortunate my family wasn't better able to hold onto our heritage language, it's great when families can. The weekend Chinese classes we attended were taught in dialects incomprehensible to us. However, I support the Ontario Education Act's restriction of the language of instruction in publicly funded schools to English or French. My family chose to immigrate to Canada and is confident our lives are better for it. Individuals, families and governments have to make choices about how to best use the resources time, energy and money available to them. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
