The Ukrainian Self-Reliance League of Canada also stressed the multi-cultural nature of the |Canadian society and said it | was inaccurate to describe Can- ada as a bicultural country.

“The French-Canadian Cultural Association of Timmins com- plained that French-Canadians have beeen the victims of official injustice and said the spirit of the constitution of 1867 has not been observed.

The group called for bilingual-

ism in the federal civil service, schools, municipal governments and public utilities. The purpose was not to force people to be- come bilingual. but to ensure that both language groups re- ceive equal treatment from pub- lic institutions, each in its lan- | guage. The Canadian Institute of Cul- |tural Research asked the fed- eral government to set up a cul- tural centre that would study the contributions of all. cultures and sponsor concerts, plays and | exhibitions.

should be discarded. {

The. Educational Reference Book Publishers Association also | urged improved training for lan- | guage teachers, saying new pro- | grams should be prepared by a council of provincial deputy education ministers.

The Mutual Co - operation League added French and Eng- lish both should be taught in primary schools and in addition, the mother tongue of other groups should be taught as an option. | There was no majority race | | or language in Canada and offi- | | cial policies should. promote | multiculturalism. rather than. bi- culturalism.
