As the programs commence, your school will automatically let u know about it, then u could get your kids 'join' them. And if the same school do not have one - they'd let u know about the other locations as well. Yes, it's good to pursue this 2nd language here [actually anywhere].

Currently it's not an issue at all... I don't find any in my kid's school - neither my friends reported any with their children. Here is what the stats say:

How Frequent is Bullying?
In Canada, studies suggest that roughly 6% of students aged 12 to 19, report bullying others on a weekly basis, 8% report that they are victims of bullying weekly, and 1% report that they are both victimized and bully others on a weekly basis (Volk, Craig, Boyce and King, 2003; Rivers and Smith, 1994; Haynie et. al., 2001). Bullying surveys also indicate that many more boys than girls report being victims of bullying and almost all boys named male peers as the aggressors (Totten, Quigley and Morgan, 2004).
Ref: http://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/res/cp/res/2008-bp-01-eng.aspx

Thus, even the stats suggest that bullying is not rampant in Canadian Schools.
