Today, the Council of Canadians launched an extensive updating of our website content in French.
Publications Officer Jan Malek writes, “Over the course of several months, a review was done of our French resources to identify areas that needed updating/improving. This resulted in an extensive amount of translation work, with a concentration on expanding our resources such as fact sheets and reports while also updating information about our history and actions. There is now a much more solid representation of our current campaigns and work.”

The Council of Canadians and a number of Québec and First Nations organizations, student and labour groups, are holding a major conference in Montréal, October 21-22, 2011. The ‘Indignez-Vous! Hope in Resistance’ conference will explore how we can work together as civil society movements in Canada, Québec, and the First Nations to create positive alternatives to a system that makes profits more important than people and the planet.
