On February 21, 2015 numerous organizations, professional bodies, and people interested in the celebration of mother language and the topic of linguistic diversity joined together at the monument initiated by the Bangladesh PressClub Centre of Alberta (BPCA) in assistance with the Bangladesh Heritage and Ethnic Society of Alberta (BHESA).
The Bangladesh PressClub Centre of Alberta (BPCA) has prepared a publication for International Mother Language Day 2015, the International Mother Language Magazine.
Two Canadian Provinces, the Province of British Columbia and the Province of Manitoba have officially proclaimed February 21st as International Mother Language Day.
In 2014 the Bangladesh Heritage and Ethnic Society of Alberta (BHESA) introduced the Ekushey Heritage Award as a means of appreciation for people who stand out exceptionally with great achievements in helping the local community in Edmonton and vicinity area. BHESA has now announced the nominees for the Ekushey Heritage Award 2015 as the award recipients are confirmed on International Mother Language Day.
We invite everybody interested in the celebration of mother language and the topic of linguistic diversity to join the program initiated by the Bangladesh PressClub Centre of Alberta (BPCA) on February 21, 2015.
