The Strathy Language Unit is excited to be part of the team creating a new Canadian English Dictionary (CED)! It has been over twenty years since the publication of a full-fledged Canadian English dictionary. To address this gap, Editors Canada, the English Language Lab at UBC, the Strathy Unit and a growing list of collaborators and volunteers, have come together to create a new resource.
The CED is guided by two overarching goals. The first is the practical mission of producing an updated dictionary incorporating changes to the language over the past twenty years. The second is the aim of creating a dictionary for all Canadians, with a commitment to reflecting Canada’s culturally diverse communities.
