1912
Regulation 17 is introduced in Ontario
Regulation 17 makes English the only language of instruction in Ontario’s public schools after the first two years of school.
Franco-Ontarians protested and created a separate school system.
In addition, Anglophones represented by the Unity League of Ontario opposed Regulation 17.
The Regulation stopped being enforced in 1927 and was not renewed in 1944.
