Since 2004, French for the Future’s National Ambassador Youth Forum (FNJA) reunites students across Canada for a week of intense learning with the goal of creating bilingualism ambassadors.
Participants have to share what it means to be a young Canadian in a country that has two official languages, the ups and downs associated with it and the challenges they face. In short, to be an ambassador.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Official Languages Act, Laura Lussier and Shaunpal Jandu took a road trip. They spent 50 days crossing the country and sharing their passion for linguistic duality, a fundamental principle that lies at the very core of our Canadian identity.
Videos are available with details of their adventure, filled with memorable encounters with Canadians from all walks of life.

From wine and poutine to maple syrup and the Montreal Canadiens, there are many ways to experience the joy of Francophone culture. Whether you’re fluent or just speak “un petit peu”, there’s never a bad time to flaunt your Frenchness!
This is why the Société francophone de Maillardville invited people from Greater Vancouver to share their enthusiasm for the French culture. They were encouraged to “Flaunt their Frenchness” in a fun campaign aimed at increasing awareness and appreciation of the French culture. By taking it out of the classroom and into everyday life, everyone can enjoy a little “joie de vivre!”
Do you have an inspiring project or initiative to share? One that brings together anglophone and francophone Canadians? We want to promote and feature innovative and unifying projects from across this great country.
