What is the Language Portal of Canada?

The Language Portal of Canada is a Web site that showcases Canadian expertise in the area of language. The creators of the Language Portal of Canada have gathered a wealth of resources to help you communicate more effectively in English and French or to improve your skills in either language. It informs readers about Canadian resources that deal with different aspects of language. It offers:

• free access to language tools online;

• articles and writing tips, word games and exercises (the Well Written, Well Said section);

• a collection of links to language-related works and sites (the Discover section);

• Canadian writing tools and content produced by governments, universities, and others;

• language-related articles signed by our contributors;

• information in English and French, and in some Aboriginal languages;

• and much more.

NOTE: The Language Portal of Canada has a parallel French language site - Le Portail linguistique du Canada. While these Internet sites follow the Official Languages Act wherever possible, their content is not identical. Both sites, however, have the same objective of promoting the use of Canada's official languages, English and French. (The above explanation was copied from the Language Portal of Canada site and was produced and/or compiled by the Translation Bureau, a special operating agency of Public Works and Government Services Canada.)
