Appreciation and Rapprochement — Promotion of Linguistic Duality

The Appreciation and Rapprochement subcomponent supports ongoing activities and innovative projects that foster a better understanding of linguistic duality and create stronger ties between English-speaking and French-speaking Canadians.

Priority is given to those activities and projects that: promote learning and use of the second language; promote the value of linguistic duality; encourage dialogue between members of the two official language communities; showcase Canada's linguistic duality; and provide opportunities to test linguistic duality in various forms.
