National Francophone Immigration Week – Semaine nationale de l’immigration francophone 2021

From November 7 to 13, we are celebrating the 9th edition of National Francophone Immigration Week!

“Let’s celebrate, savour and discover with an open mind!”

This year’s theme is «Une francophonie aux mille saveurs», the thousand flavours of la francophonie. Beyond reminding us of the diversity of the rich Francophone cuisines and tastes, it is an opportunity to discover and connect around music, languages, art, traditions, and our visions of the world.

“Let’s reaffirm the richness of our inclusive Francophone communities!”

Whether a Francophone or a Francophile, you are invited to join the many online and in-person events organized across the country to build community through diversity.
