Abstract	The report on multiculturalism in the educational system of the Borough of York (Toronto), is an updated version of a 1975 Draft Report of the Work Group on Multicultural Programs (ED 111 726). This document discusses community, educational, and governmental reaction to and recommendations concerning the issues identified in the 1975 report. The eight issues examined are: (1) establishing a climate of appreciation and learning within the educational system; (2) curriculum content; (3) eliminating discrimination; (4) government role in multiculturalism; (5) orientation and placement of immigrant children; (6) retention of cultural identity; (7) effectively staff and train teachers to work with students from differing cultures; and (8) promote teaching English as a second language and/or dialect. Seven recommendations to the Board of Education for the Borough of York are presented, including espousing the principle of third language instruction, expansion of summer school programs, and support for cultural programs. Appended items include submissions received by the Work Group on Multiculturalism since 1975, an issue paper which identifies general issues of importance to schools and ethnic communities in Toronto, survey questionnaires for parents of school children, and an interim position paper on bilingual education by the Toronto Teachers' Federation.
