- May 2016: The language is part of the largest of Canada's 10-12 aboriginal family language groups. Jessica Benson advocates for adult learners to study grammar and structure in addition to immersion.[2]
- January 2022: The Ojibwe language became critically endangered after generations of children were forbidden from speaking it at government-run boarding schools. A new digital version of the Ojibwe language curriculum features community members, videos, and illustrations to teach grammar and vocabulary. Learning the Ojibwe language is described by leaders as a way for people to connect with their culture and live in a good way.[3]
- November 2024: Level C and D courses in this language are being offered virtually starting in January 2025 to eliminate timetable conflicts and low enrolment. Instruction includes learning to navigate resources such as dictionaries and grammar tools for various dialects.[1]
