Chairperson Board of Education Ottawa Carleton District School Board, Ottawa. 27th December, 2020 Subject: A Project Proposal for the Implementation of International Mother Language Day (IMLD) by Appointing "Mother Language Ambassador" from among the students of Elementary level. Dear Chairperson, As you are aware, the United Nations Educational and Scientific Cultural Organization (UNESCO) declared 21st February as the International Mother Language Day (IMLD) in 1999. The initiative for IMLD was undertaken by our organization – the Mother Language Lovers of the World Society (MLLWS) – and ultimately supported by all member states of the UNESCO, including Canada. Today, we celebrate 21st February as ILMD to enhance awareness of linguistic and cultural traditions around the world, and to protect and promote linguistic diversity through multilingual education. The MLLWS, based in Surrey, B.C., has been working with the City of Surrey and the School District of Surrey for implementation of the goals of IMLD. We developed a model, which is now called the BC Model for IMLD implementation, already recognized and endorsed by the UNESCO. As the first step, the School District of Surrey included IMLD in the School Yearly calendar. As a result, in Surrey School District alone, every year approximately 70,000 students, representing 172 various mother language speakers now have opportunities to celebrate on 21st February their languages, identity and their cultural heritage within the Canadian multicultural mosaic. This Model is being replicated in other School Districts in BC. For your information, the Ottawa Catholic School Board recently included the IMLD in their school calendar. We consider that childhood is the best time to raise awareness about the mother languages. However, in the absence of a structural guidance and resources, the elementary school systems may find it difficult to prepare themselves for such a venture and thus may lose their interest to move this forward. We therefore propose that, following examples in BC and Ottawa and other provinces as well, you may consider to include the IMLD in your School Districts yearly calendar. We promise to assist you with resources as well as advisory services from MLLWS, which are as follows. 1.Basic Resources: With the help of UNESCO, MLLWS will arrange the basic resources like information packages, video presentations, posters etc. 2. Mother Language Committee: Your School Board/District will be responsible for forming a committee for mother language awareness for each school. This committee will be responsible in a school board level to observe IMLD in every school annually on 21st February (or on a different suitable date if it is a holiday). The committee will also create awareness and promote preservation of mother languages through arranging presentations, seminars, counselling, and classroom talks in all schools. Page 2 of 216 The Mother Language Lovers of the World Society Motherlanguagelovers.com British Columbia Registration # S-0060789 my language is my identity _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 3. Mother Language Ambassadors: School Board/District will elect/select a Mother Language Ambassador (volunteers from school teachers) from each school or school zone including a leader among all the ambassadors to sit in the School Board Mother Language Committee. 4. Regional Celebration: You may think of a regional/District-wise Celebration of IMLD every year and involve your City/Municipality and local political figures to further highlight the importance of IMLD in Canadian context. I am forwarding a presentation for your kind information. It will highly appreciate, if you please undertake this educational initiative in your School Board/District. We assure you of technical help and any advisory services from MLLWS. Please visit our website (www.motherlanguagelovers.com) for further information. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.

  • The Closure of Rideau High School: a Case Study in the Political Economy of Urban Education in Ontario
    Canadian Journal of Educational Administration and Policy, 191, 83-105 The Closure of Rideau High School: A Case Study in the Political Economy of Urban Education in Ontario Jesse K. Butler, Ruth G. Kane, & Fiona R. Cooligan University of Ottawa Abstract In 2017, school board trustees in Ottawa, Ontario, voted to close Rideau High School, an urban sec- ondary school in a historically marginalized neighbourhood. The school board had argued that low en- rolment at Rideau HS, and the resultant inability of the school to offer a full range of course choices, made closure the only viable option. To many people in the affected communities, however, the clo- sure decision was seen as a form of discrimination against the school’s marginalized student population, which included many new immigrants, refugees, and Indigenous students. This article draws upon re- search from the US and the UK that emphasizes the spatial dimensions of urban education, along with the existing research on school closures in Ontario in order to explore this particular school closure de- cision from an urban, political, socioeconomic, and historical perspective. By focusing on a case study area in eastern Ottawa, this article incorporates both a narrative history of Ottawa school board pol- icies and a quantitative analysis of local demographic data. The argument here is that the closure of Rideau HS should be understood in the context of a series of interconnected challenges faced by the school, including a marginalized student population, a negative reputation, and low student enrolment. In turn, these challenges should be understood in the context of socioeconomic disparities between neigh- bourhoods in the area and a history of ineffective policies at the school-board level, including relatively lax student transfer policies.
