Language preservation is important to any community. Francophones living in a minority setting know this very well. Indigenous people know it too. By offering courses in Tlicho, one of the 11 official languages of the Northwest Territories (NWT), Collège Nordique is participating in this effort to revitalize an Indigenous language. It is also its way of contributing to the reconciliation initiated by Canada, as we prepare to mark the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation on September 30th.
