Canadian Language Museum: New Exhibit Opening

The CLM’s new exhibit 'Speaking the Inuit Way' will be opening in Wilson Lounge, New College at 4:30 pm on Thursday March 28. Over the past year, the CLM’s first exhibit 'Canadian English, Eh?' has toured to universities in Toronto, Kingston, Waterloo, Montreal, Vancouver, Halifax and St. John's. The Canadian Language Museum was established in 2011 and its current focus is on promoting awareness of languages spoken in Canada through creating and touring traveling exhibits. Future plans include an exhibit on Canadian French for 2014 and on Cree for 2015. The U of T Department of Linguistics has been very active in the development and support of the CLM.  Elaine Gold is the Chair, Keren Rice is the Vice-Chair, Jack Chambers and Alana Johns have consulted on exhibit content, and many graduate students have volunteered their time and expertise.
