The Language Rights Support Program objectives are : to promote awareness of language rights through public education; to offer access to alternative dispute resolution processes to settle disputes out of court; to support litigation that helps to advance and clarify constitutional language rights when test cases are involved and dispute resolution efforts have not resolved matters. On September 9, 2009, the Minister of Canadian Heritage announced the choice of the University of Ottawa as the Program's managing institution. The Official Languages and Bilingualism Institute(OLBI), in partnership with the Faculty of Law, is currently working on operationalizing the Program. 2, record 5, English, - Language%20Rights%20Support%20Program

Commencing in 1974 and produced by the Education and Cultural Affairs Division of the National Museum of Man in conjunction with the relevant research divisions, the Museum Kits were multi-media, thematic, learning packages which were loaned free of charge for two-week intervals to schools community groups, libraries, etc. Each "museum in a box" included artifacts, specimens and related interpretive material such as films, maps, fact sheets, slides and resource books. There were two types of kits-a small kit with limited artifacts and resource materials, usually in separate language versions and the larger, bilingual, more complex kits, with resources inserted according to the requirements of the borrowers. The kits were designed for the 11-14 age group and were to promote an understanding and appreciation for Canada's multicultural heritage as well as the functions and importance of human history museums within Canada. Catalogues of available kits were produced and circulated through the National Programs Division. They have been discontinued. 1, record 8, English, - museum%20in%20a%20box

À partir de 1974, la Division de l'éducation et des affaires culturelles du Musée national de l'Homme, avec les divisions pertinentes de la recherche, a produit les Muséotrousses, des ensembles pédagogiques multimédias, thématique, prêtés gratuitement pendant deux semaines aux écoles aux groupes communautaires, aux bibliothèques, entre autres. Chacune des trousses «musée dans une boîte» comprenait des artefacts, des spécimens et des documents interprétatifs connexes, comme des films, des cartes, des feuillets d'information, des diapositives et des manuels de référence. Il y avait deux sortes de trousses - une petite trousse avec un nombre limité d'artefacts et de documents de référence, habituellement dans des versions langagières distincts et une grande trousse, bilingue, plus complexe, avec des ressources insérées selon les besoins des emprunteurs. Les trousses étaient conçues pour le groupe d'âge des 11-14 ans, en vue de promouvoir la compréhension et la connaissance du patrimoine multiculturel du Canada, ainsi que les fonctions et l'importance des musées d'histoire humaine au Canada.
