The Multilingual Association of Regina is a non-profit
registered charity. MLAR was founded in 1978 and Regina Multilingual
School activities began in 1979. MLAR is committed to the retention and
promotion of heritage languages in Regina. Membership is open to any
organization or individual interested in the teaching and retention of
heritage languages.
In the 2002-2003 school year, 22 Heritage language schools are in
operation with an enrollment of over 1200 students.
Many dedicated
volunteer teachers are involved in teaching classes outside of regular
school time. In addition to language instruction, heritage language
schools celebrate our diversity of cultural traditions. MLAR has been
instrumental in helping students of its member schools celebrate their
cultural heritage.
The support for instruction through workshops and in-service training
for language teachers has been an on-going focus of the Association.
