About the initiative ?A Celebration of Mother Language in Canada?
BPCA, the Bangladesh PressClub Centre of Alberta, is promoting International Mother Language Day on February 21st in an effort to bring the people of all nations together to celebrate each and everyone's mother language, culture and heritage. The celebration can be understood as a reminder of the importance of linguistic and cultural diversity, and the occasion is a chance to build peace and understanding between all nations and ethnic groups around the world. For International Mother Language Day in 2015, BPCA has drafted a basic program to be held at the University of MacEwan in Edmonton, Alberta of Canada. More information about the initiative and the event can be found on our homepage.
