Official Language Minority Communities

In the Broadcasting Act, "official language minority community" means English-speaking communities in Quebec and French-speaking communities outside Quebec.

Other federal institutions identify official language minority communities and these resources may be helpful to the CRTC in its work. For instance, the Department of Canadian Heritage issued a map regarding these communities in 2016. Also, Statistics Canada has issued a “Portrait of Official Language Minorities in Canada” and the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages has published “Snapshots of official languages in Canada”.
