Portuguese Canadians from Sea to Sea

Some of the key issues which were identified included: Disproportionately low levels of formal education; high academic underachievement; lack of integration and political representation; and the lack of support for the Portuguese language. The priorities for community action included: Promoting education; educating and mobilizing the community, especially in promoting the benefits of post-secondary education; providing leadership; unifying the community; and promoting the Portuguese culture and language.
