Trudeau’s Facebook page must be bilingual for live events: language commissioner

The official languages commissioner says events broadcast live on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Facebook page must be accessible in both English and French.
More than a dozen people complained to the commissioner’s office about the lack of simultaneous translation on Trudeau’s Facebook page during a July 6 press conference announcing the nomination of Mary Simon as governor general.
In a preliminary report tabled last month and obtained by The Canadian Press, commissioner Raymond Theberge found that the Privy Council Office, which provided organizational support for the press conference, failed to meet its obligations under the Official Languages Act.
The investigation acknowledged that no simultaneous interpretation or subtitle service is currently available on Facebook Live, but Theberge suggested a link could be included in the caption of the video directing viewers to another website where the broadcast could be watched in both official languages.
The Privy Council Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Canadian Press.
The nomination of Simon, an Inuk leader and former Canadian diplomat who does not speak French, led to hundreds of complaints to the language commissioner’s office.

Old and new events look to attract visitors to Lewis County
City of Page rolls out new events to draw in visitors
PAGE, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) – Page, Arizona, can be the headquarters for travelers who want to explore Lake Powell, Horseshoe Bend, and other landmarks.
It’s now home Adam Cranston, the owner of State 48 Tavern. “We ended up building a taproom next door, and it was basically going to be used as a waiting room for people,” he said. With tourism exploding before the COVID-19 pandemic, Cranston had to expand the restaurant.
Page is a small community with about 7,500 residents that relies heavily on international tourists. Before coronavirus, Gregg Martinez, the economic development coordinator for the city of Page, says they would see 5 million visitors a year. COVID-19 cut that number in half in 2020; he told Arizona’s Family on Wednesday.
As businesses like Cranston’s inch towards pre-pandemic crowds again, the city is introducing a series of new events and ways to welcome tourists. Martinez says they are focusing on the Valley to remind people to visit their mom-and-pop restaurants and bars. “A lot of times, I have family and friends that live in the Valley, and they’re like, ‘where’s Page?” Martinez said.
He says the city is rolling out a series of events this year that starts with the Page Fine Art Festival in April, which will be an annual event.“We are trying to be as innovative and as flexible as possible,” Martinez said. “We want to make sure that everyone knows that our small business community is the heart of our community.”
As Arizonans make summer plans, Cranston hopes everyone considers this: “We are open for business. We have a great community here. Everybody is ready for the season,” he said.
“There are so many things to do other than just the lake. We have all the slot tours, Horseshoe Bend, we have air tours,” said Judy Franz, the executive director of the Page-Lake Powell Chamber of Commerce. Franz says the Page-Lake Powell Hub is the visitor’s center for the area where you can get information on tours and restaurants. It is now also doing lottery tickets for the Wave.
Franz suggests making reservations in advance because tours book up quickly. You can also learn more by calling (928) 608 – 5749.

Castanet has revamped its events page, making it easier than ever for you to see what is happening in the Okanagan.
The new page improved the event categories, making things easier to find, the search tool is more intuitive than it was before, and a new “featured events” section that highlights the most popular happenings can be found at the top of the page.
Best of all, the page is more mobile friendly.
“As B.C. and Canada start to ease COVID restrictions, we wanted to take a look at ways we could improve our events section so that as people start to leave their homes again, it will be easier for them to find activities that interest them,” Castanet creative director Robin Jones said.
That makes this the perfect time to promote your event on Castanet. Click here to submit your information.
