The Committee wants to hear perspectives of members of the public from across the Northwest Territories about how the Official Languages Act could better promote and protect the Territory’s official languages.

Members of the public can participate in two ways: either by contacting the Committee Clerk at committees@ntassembly.ca to obtain the zoom meeting link to speak to the MLAs, or by writing a letter containing their concerns and e-mailing it to the Committee Clerk. If you need interpretation for this meeting, please indicate this information to the Committee Clerk at Committees@ntassembly.ca by January 19 for guaranteed assistance.

The Committee is undertaking this work because they are required by law to do a review of the Official Languages Act every five years. After gathering public input, the Committee will write a set of recommendations to the Government of the Northwest Territories by way of a report in the House during session.

The meeting will be broadcast live and can be viewed by tuning in to ntassembly.ca or by watching on the Assembly’s Facebook, YouTube or Twitter channels. The proceedings will also air on the LATV network.
