Since 2002, the Province of BC has annually proclaimed March 20th as Journée de la francophonie in the province. The annual proclamation raises awareness of the aspirations and reality of our francophone and francophile communities. It is an opportunity to acknowledge the francophone contribution to our economy, education system and culture.
