Proclaiming La Francophonie in Saskatchewan

Released on March 2, 2017

Provincial Secretary Nadine Wilson proclaimed March 2 to 22 as Rendez-vous de la Francophonie 2017 in Saskatchewan.  This is an opportunity to join with people from all over the country to celebrate Canada’s rich francophone heritage and culture.

“Rendez-vous is an exciting opportunity that we have in Saskatchewan to promote the strength and growth of our francophone communities,” Wilson said.  “It is my hope that not only francophones, but everyone in our province, no matter their language or their culture, take part in this important cultural celebration.”

The Provincial Secretary, along with the Assemblée communautaire fransaskoise and other dignitaries will participate in an event to highlight Rendez-vous de la Francophonie 2017 on March 15, at the Legislative Building in Regina.

Rendez-vous de la Francophonie is an annual celebration to promote French language and francophone culture, and coincides with the International Day of La Francophonie on March 20.

This year’s focus is La Francophonie in 3D: Diversity, Duality and Dynamism, a theme that relates well to the economic and cultural vitality of the vibrant Fransaskois communities across Saskatchewan.

During this period, more than 2,500 activities will take place throughout Canada.  Planned events include a Just for Laughs team tour of the country, flash mobs, film screenings, winter carnivals, open mic nights and more.
