Language monument in Canada
The Bangladesh mission has talked with Ottawa and Toronto mayors to convince them to erect a monument in honour of the International Mother Language Day. The Toronto mayor has responded very earnestly and ordered his officials to look into the matter immediately.
Ottawa citizens, and a widely read newspaper in Ottawa, described it as a "Monumental Idea". Canada played a very important role to have UNESCO declare 21st February as the International Mother Language Day.
Let us keep our fingers crossed to see Canada honour its multicultural tradition by building a monument in honour of our language heroes.
