This is a good time to celebrate Gaelic language and culture. Since the 18th century, thousands of Gaels from the Highlands and Islands of Scotland came to North America. The early settlers did not come with much, but they built many communities in Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7110869\" data-originallang=\"en\">When I was young, I heard Gaelic in Cape Breton, Glengarry and at the Gaelic Society of Toronto. Children learned Gaelic from their parents. They learned stories, songs, piping and Highland dancing. Today, Canadians are learning Gaelic in Nova Scotia, Toronto and across Canada, joining a million learners from around the world. Up with the Gaelic.</p>\n<p class=\"procedural\" data-HoCid=\"7110870\">[<em>English</em>]</p>",

Depuis le XVIII<sup>e</sup> si\u00e8cle, des milliers de Ga\u00ebls sont venus en Am\u00e9rique du Nord depuis les Highlands et les \u00celes d'\u00c9cosse.

Les parents enseignaient le ga\u00e9lique \u00e0 leurs enfants. Ces derniers apprenaient les histoires, les chansons et les danses traditionnelles des Highlands ainsi qu'\u00e0 jouer de la cornemuse. Aujourd'hui, des Canadiens apprennent le ga\u00e9lique en Nouvelle-\u00c9cosse, \u00e0 Toronto et partout au Canada, se joignant ainsi \u00e0 une communaut\u00e9 mondiale de millions d'apprenants.
