We are pleased to announce that the Language Portal of Canada is now on Canada.ca and is called Resources of the Language Portal of Canada! All site content remains free of charge and accessible from noslangues-ourlanguages.gc.ca.
Although the site still has the same address, some sections have been renamed and moved. Don’t forget to check and update any links to the Portal in your Favorites or on your websites where the Portal is mentioned!
What’s new?
- The content of the writing tools has been streamlined and improved to make browsing easier.
- The site is accessible on all mobile devices.
- The Gateway to English | Le français sans secrets search tool is now called Language Navigator.
- Social media have become the main information tool for all new Portal content and will replace Headlines. The email notification service provides a recap of the main news once a week.
- The Discover section has been improved and renamed Collection of Canadian language resources.
- Other functions will soon be added so that a greater number of Canadians can be reached; for example, the Portal Blog (coming in spring 2017) will replace the former From Our Contributors
