On February 21, we celebrate International Mother Language Day. Because language helps us build our identity. Because it is part of our culture, part of who we are. And above all because it affects our access to health services. So, let’s look after our culture, our language. Let’s celebrate it!
To mark the occasion, we will be speaking with the Honourable René Cormier, Senator. Senator Cormier joined the Senate of Canada in 2016, as an independent senator from New Brunswick. A man of action committed to a citizen-driven approach to the development of Acadia, New Brunswick, and La francophonie, Senator Cormier has been working for nearly 40 years to ensure that arts and culture are better integrated in every aspect of Acadian and Canadian society.

Renforcement des capacités : Explorer les déterminants de la santé et s’en servir comme leviers pour agir concrètement dans divers milieux (Capacity building: Exploring the determinants of health and using them to leverage concrete action in different settings) (in French only)
Presentation by:
-Barbara Losier, executive director of Mouvement Acadien des Communautés en Santé du Nouveau-Brunswick (MACS-NB), Réseau-action Communautaire de la Société de la Santé et Mieux-être en français du Nouveau-Brunswick (RAC-SSMEFNB)
-Estelle Lanteigne, director of Réseau-action Organisation des services de la Société de la Santé et Mieux-être en français du Nouveau-Brunswick (RAOS-SSMEFNB)
Building capacity in the determinants of health encourages us to take action on the underlying causes of people’s health status as individuals, as part of a family, group or community or the entire population.
Learn about these underlying causes from the perspective of the determinants of health. However, all too often, for many of us it is unclear how we can act on the determinants of health.
This webinar is an opportunity to explore the determinants of health tools developed by MACS-NB and, with the RAOS, to identify concrete avenues for intervening in various settings including the community, organizations, schools and health services.

En apprendre plus sur la construction identitaire
(Learn more about identity building) – in French only
By the Association canadienne d’éducation de langue française (ACELF)
Who are you? What defines you? What you say in response to these questions is part of your identity. The gender you identity with, your profession and your culture are a couple of examples. But identity is not static. It evolves. It is always being built. And that is what identity building is.
What interests us here is building a Francophone identity. The process that leads individuals to identify themselves and to recognize themselves through the Francophonie.
This resource includes guiding principles, funny videos, a blog and much more.
