Federal Funding
Funding to support minority-language education and second official-language instruction.
In an effort to support minority language education and second language instruction in Canada, the federal government has provided funding to provinces and territories since 1971 under the Official Languages in Education Protocol (OLEP). In June 2008, the federal government committed to renew the protocol that guides the bilateral agreements.
Education has been involved in negotiations with the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC) and other provinces and territories to identify Alberta’s share of funds under the 2009/2010-2012/2013 Protocol. New funding will be available pending the approval and the official announcement by Canadian Heritage and CMEC. The new protocol will support initiatives that address the priorities for minority-language education and second official-language instruction.
Alberta will benefit from funding allocations under the 2009/2010-2012/2013 protocol. The Application Kit for Stakeholders contains information which may assist Alberta stakeholders in the preparation of project proposals, or renewal of existing project proposals, for the new federal funding under the 2009/2010-2012/2013 Protocol.
