Furthermore, the Canadian Arab community constitutes 6% of the total population in Ottawa-Gatineau.

  • Language Contact and Mixing in Ottawa and Gatineau in 2011 Jack
    Language Contact and Mixing in Ottawa and Gatineau in 2011 Jack Jedwab November 2012 1. Introduction Recently released results of the 2011 census on language identification, language knowledge and home use revealed little change in the distribution of language groups in the National Capital Region since the 2006 census. This despite concerns that change in census context may give rise to problems in intecensal comparisons. Yet little change on some dimensions of language identification and knowledge should not be seen as good news. The table below looks at the percentage shift in population on the basis of mother tongue in the NCR and perhaps the point most worthy of interest is the rise in the percentage of mixed responses. In real number the mixed responses rose from 20 805 to 35 075 between 2006 and 2011 and English/French mixed responses from 10 500 to 16 665 over that same period for an increase of nearly 60%. Although the numbers may seem small they nonetheless reflect a census trend that is in part explained by more comfort in acknowledging dual language identity in a context where language policy analysts have often encouraged respondents to think in singular terms (you’re either an anglophone, francophone or other). Indeed despite the rise in the percentage reporting the first language they learned was both English and French), it is likely that this grossly under represents the percentage that identify with two languages. Indeed the 2011 census reveals that in the NCR some 53 195 speak both French and English most often at home, 81 440 people speaking French most often in their homes also to some degree report speaking English and 69 715 NCR anglophones report speaking some French at home.

  • Press Release for Immediate Release
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Jean-Marc Léveillé proposes a plan regarding housing Longueuil, June 29, 2021 — The mayoral candidate of Longueuil Citizen, Jean-Marc Léveillé, is concerned about the housing situation in Longueuil. Already last year, the pandemic complicated the move and the search for new housing, the situation this year shows no sign of improvement, while according to some estimates, around fifty families in Longueuil could find themselves homeless July 1st. While highlighting the efforts made this year by organizations and the City to support the citizens of Longueuil during this difficult period, the mayoral candidate of Longueuil Citoyen - Équipe Jean-Marc Léveillé proposes measures to increase the number of social and affordable housing units in Longueuil. To act now in order to accelerate the start of housing projects In the event of his election as Mayor of Longueuil, he intends to set up a municipal fund dedicated to accelerating the start of construction projects for social and affordable housing. Amounts that could have a leverage effect on several housing projects. An idea initially proposed in 2020 by Councillor Michel Lanctôt of the Antoinette-Robidoux District, which Jean-Marc Léveillé takes up in the commitments of Longueuil Citoyen. He also proposes that the City identify municipal buildings that could quickly be converted, as well as land that could accommodate new social or affordable rental housing projects. For the mayoral candidate of Longueuil Citoyen, the adoption of teleworking by our civil servants represents a unique opportunity for the City to consider the use of its real estate and land differently.

  • GEOGRAPHICAL FEATURES 5 Eastward Across Northern Ontario and Down Into Eastern Ontario
    GEOGRAPHICAL FEATURES 5 eastward across northern Ontario and down into eastern Ontario. Petroleum and natural gas, salt, and gypsum are also produced on an important scale in trie south­ western part of the Province. Fruit farming in the Niagara District and general farming throughout the entire southern part of the Province are carried on extensively under unusually favourable conditions, while timber, pulp, and furs are other im­ portant products of more northern parts. Manitoba.—Manitoba, the most easterly of the Prairie Provinces, and also the oldest of them in point of settlement, includes the area between Ontario on the east and Saskatchewan on the west. Its southerly limit is the International Boundary, while its northerly boundary is the 60th parallel of latitude and Hudson Bay, where its coast of over 400 miles includes the harbour and port of Churchill. The total area of Manitoba, of which about 56 p.c. lies south of the isotherm of 60° F. mean July temperature,* is 246,512 square miles—3,246 square miles greater than twice the total area of the British Isles. The conformity of the surface of Manitoba is quite even; commencing on the north with a strip bordering on Hudson Bay—perhaps 100 miles wide and less than 500 feet in elevation—the surface rises gradually towards the west and south. The bulk of the Province has an elevation of between 500 and 1,000 feet, and the greatest height of 2,727 feet is attained in Duck Mountain, north­ west of Lake Dauphin. East and north of Lake Winnipeg the Canadian Shield is found with its Precambrian rock formation, but the remainder of the Province is over­ lain by very fertile soil of great depth.
