Ontario Launches Youth Francophonie Award
September 25, TORONTO - The Ontario Francophonie Youth Award will recognize exceptional Francophones and Francophiles under the age of 25 who are actively involved in the development of their communities.
Since 1986, the French Language Services Act guarantees each individual the right to receive provincial government services in French in 25 designated areas of the province.
The Accent on Youth Strategy was launched by Madeleine Meilleur, Minister Responsible for Francophone Affairs in December 2008 in Ottawa. This ongoing project of the Office of Francophone Affairs is designed to encourage Ontario's Francophone youth to speak French and to become actively involved in the development of their communities.
The Statistical profiles present an insightful portrait of the Francophone population. They cover various aspects, such as demographic characteristics, assimilation rates, education levels, and socio-economic status.
Find here the answers to your questions about the French Language Services Act, francophone schools, the Franco-Ontarian flag, the exhibition "Ontario's francophonie: then and now" and more.
The Honourable Madeleine Meilleur
