On September 10, 2026, Canadians across the country will celebrate Official Languages Day📣
Since 2009, Official Languages Day has been celebrated on the second Thursday of September. It is an opportunity to uphold our linguistic heritage and highlight the initiatives and community voices that contribute to the vitality of English and French.
This year’s theme, Two Voices in Harmony, places music 🎶at the heart of the 2026 Official Languages Day celebrations. A powerful means of sharing and learning, music is a vibrant reflection of our cultural identity. Through its melodies, it carries the values, stories, and memories of our communities from one generation to the next, strengthening our sense of belonging.
We invite you to join the celebration and encourage you to:
🟢Participate in the virtual event on September 10, from 1:30 to 3:00 p.m. (ET), which features a discussion with panelists from diverse backgrounds on the power of Canadian music to unite our cultures, our languages, and our communities.
