OUR LITTLE STORY
When you think of your cultural heritage, what comes to mind? Do you think of people, places, meals, and holidays? Do you think of language, stories, traditions and artifacts? Songs and dances? Do you feel connected to these roots or cut off from them?
At My Roots our mission is to help you keep your culture and pass it on to your children. Through our online language courses, multiple cultural programs, and events, we assist you and your children in staying connected to your heritage.
We started out of a personal need to connect our own kids with their heritage. Our friends and family joined and then we grew to now provide language classes to kids across Canada and the world.
