What are the two official languages of Canada?

Canada recognizes both French and English as its official languages, a reflection of its history and cultural diversity. This bilingual status is established by the Official Languages Act, which aims to promote and support the use of these languages in government, education, and public services. The presence of both languages is rooted in Canada’s colonization by France and Britain, and it continues to shape the national identity. This commitment to bilingualism helps ensure that both French-speaking and English-speaking Canadians can participate fully in all aspects of Canadian life, including politics, education, and community services.
