It is not a report of an extensive community consultation per se, but one of the background studies used to prepare this document was a survey of community perspectives. The report summarizes and provides a systematic overview of research findings. The analysis focuses on what these findings mean for identifying policy priorities, and for proceeding with policy and program development options. The report offers a systematic overview of issues in multiculturalism and justice. The overview of issues is based on both the existent literature and on the views of the representatives of ethnocultural groups in Canada. The review of the literature will draw upon the research reports noted above, other research carried out by the Department of Justice Canada Home Funding Search Site Map ... What's New?

Extractions: A Review of the Issues Cultural Practices in Conflict with Canadian Law 3.0 INTRODUCTION Up to the 1960s, there was a strong belief that assimilation in both social science and popular ideology was the social process which would forge a common national identity<57> among those who J. S. Woodsworth called "strangers within our gates."<58> This belief is not as certain today. Integration into Canadian society does occur, and in that process immigrants and their descendants relinquish many of the customs and practices of their ethnic origin groups. However, the process of integration is complex, occurring along many specific behavioral, attitudinal, cultural, and structural (patterns of interaction such as marriage and friendship) dimensions at different rates of change. It may proceed at an uneven pace, and here may be reversals in the direction of change toward traditional models.<59> In the short term, virtually all immigrants retain many of the customs brought from their countries of origin. Even after lengthy periods of time in the country, some members of ethnic minority communities, including some second- generation Canadian-born people, continue to maintain some of their traditional customs and social practices. The majority ethnic groups in Canada have done so. English- and French-speaking peoples have done so with respect to language, and the Protestants and Catholics have done so with respect to schools. It should be expected that in a society where there is considerable legitimacy in pluralism, other ethnic groups will do the same. It is, therefore, important to determine public policy on how the law will respond to this pluralist social context.

A small number of Italian men first came to British Columbia in the 1850's, attracted by the Cariboo gold rush. More came to B.C. in the 1880's to build the Canadian Pacific Railway. When these men had earned a substantial amount of money, they often sent for their wives and families whom they had left in Italy. Most of the Italian immigrants originally came from southern Italy while a few were from the northern part of the country. The journey to Canada was long and difficult, and most often men came believing the empty promise that they would have jobs upon their arrival. When they arrived in Canada, usually via Montreal, the promised jobs did not always materialise. The Italian men were forced to live in dirty shacks with other Italian men and with very little food to sustain them. If they could afford the fare, some returned home to Italy, while others did manage to find work in jobs such as railway building and mining. Some only came for a short time, planning to send money home to support their families while making a personal fortune so they could soon return home themselves.

Extractions: Special software needed to read non-HTML documents January 30 th CRTC RELEASES REPORT ON ETHNIC SERVICES: CANADIANS ENJOY ACCESS TO A WIDE VARIETY OF ETHNIC SERVICES OTTAWA-GATINEAU The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has released its report on ethnic services today. The report shows that Canadians have access to a variety of ethnic services that are widely carried across the country in both analogue and digital form. In creating this snapshot of the industry during 2001, the Commission studied a sample of 40 different-sized markets across the country. Based on 1996 data from Statistics Canada, sample markets were generally chosen for the study if they contained at least one ethnic group which represented 5 per cent or more of the community. An ethnic group is defined as any culturally or racially distinct group other than those groups comprised of respondents who identified themselves with Statistics Canada in 1996 to be of French, British, Canadian, or Aboriginal Canadian origin. Population determined each market size. Markets that had a population of 300,000 or more were considered large, those with a population ranging between 299,999 and 100,000 were considered medium and those with a population of less than 100,000 were considered small.

Data for the remaining ethnic groups are available in the Nation Series. For more information, please contact your local Statistics Canada regional office. In this table, respondents who reported one ethnic origin are included in the single response column. Respondents who reported more than one ethnic origin are included in the multiple response column for each ethnic group they reported. The total response column indicates the number of respondents who reported each ethnic origin. Users should be careful when interpreting multiple response counts because respondents who reported more than one ethnic origin are counted in the multiple response count for each ethnic origin they reported. For example, a respondent who reported English and Scottish is included in the multiple response count for English and the multiple response count for Scottish.

Censuses: Reported for: Question No.: Responses: Remarks: This question refers to the ethnic or cultural origins of a person's ancestors. An ancestor is someone from whom a person is descended and is usually more distant than a grandparent. Other than Aboriginal persons, most people can trace their origins to their ancestors who first came to this continent. Ancestry should not be confused with citizenship or nationality. For all persons, report the specific ethnic or cultural group or groups to which their ancestors belonged, not the language they spoke. For example, report "Haitian" rather than "French", or "Austrian" rather than "German". For persons of East Indian or South Asian origins, report a specific group. Do

http://www.nlc-bnc.ca/4/17/index-e.html

Extractions: This electronic version of the Second Edition of The Encyclopedia of Music in Canada (1992) is designed to enable musicians, music scholars, students, and music lovers globally to have immediate access to information about music in Canada. It is also hoped that the electronic edition of EMC will reflect Canadian music's richness and diversity. As noted in the introduction to the First Edition, EMC aims to describe Canada's musical heritage and culture in its breadth and depth: the historic and current manifestations of popular, folk, religious, concert, and other forms of music, as well as Canadian music's educational, critical, administrative, and commercial aspects. The evolution and the of the EMC project are discussed more fully in the introductions to the paper-based First and Second Editions. EMC 's electronic edition, presented in both official languages, will continue to be updated on an ongoing basis over the next several years. As the Second Edition attempted to track those trends that had appeared since the original 1981 publication as well as to introduce new musicians and to elaborate on those whose careers had grown, so will this electronic edition carry on where the Second Edition left off. As the electronic format allows the Encyclopedia's editors to make rapid textual changes, new articles will be introduced and contributors to the
