An Analysis of Canadian Bilingual Districts Policy

An Analysis of Canadian Bilingual Districts Policy

A paper looking into the location and development of Bilingual Districts in Canada - meaning, the establishment of outposts of Canadian federal services that can take place in both English and French to serve a population that has significant percentages (greater than a 10% collective) of people who speak one language or the other in the minority. The author evaluates how proclaiming certain districts and not others "bilingual" can have an effect on the perception of that region, on the psychology surrounding assimilation, and on the population in that region keen to the language politics active in its surroundings.
