French Language Services Coordinators

The French Language Services Coordinators are your primary contacts with Ontario government ministries. You may contact one of the French Language Services coordinators:

if you have a question about French language services (FLS) within a particular ministry, or
if you wish to submit an application to have your organization designated under the French Language Services Act.

Since April 1, 2009, the management of French-language services within the government has been restructured.

Ministries are now grouped into five activity sectors according to their mandate, their activities and the impact they have on communities. Each group is placed under the responsibility of a French Language Services manager. This new structure will allow the government to manage FLS more efficiently and provide improved access to these services for Ontario's Francophones.

Government agencies are not affected by these changes.
