Abstract	Being bilingual is advantageous in almost all aspects of life. Bilingualism positively and permanently alters the mind and the brain. Being bilingual is more rewarding than being monolingual due to superior communication skills, enhanced executive functions, a delayed onset of Alzheimer's disease, and contributions to the Canadian economy. Learning a second language is the doorway to a child's future, and encouraging our youth to sustain their bilingualism or become bilingual is a necessary investment in our nation's future.
