EVENTS<br />
Local Forum: Yellowknife<br />
Organized by our partner French<br />
for the Future, Local Forums<br />
are events that gather French<br />
Second Language and French First<br />
Language students from Grade 9 to 12<br />
for a full day of activities in French.<br />
Thanks to the presence of stakeholders<br />
and artists from the Francophone<br />
community, students are given the<br />
opportunity to learn more about the<br />
cultural and professional value of being<br />
bilingual. It is also the occasion to facilitate<br />
dialogue between French as a Second<br />
Language (FSL) and French as a First<br />
Language (FFL) students, while<br />
celebrating Francophone cultures.<br />
Hosted in over fifteen cities across<br />
Canada, Local Forums welcome thousands<br />
of students every year. And these events<br />
are free for all participants!<br />
On Tuesday October 23, French for the<br />
Future’s Ottawa Local Forum will be taking<br />
local forums<br />
place at the University of Ottawa, with<br />
keynote speaker Daniel Richer and a show<br />
from Improtéine.<br />
And in 2019, CPF Northwest Territories<br />
Branch will be coordinating a Local Forum<br />
taking place in Yellowknife! We are looking<br />
forward to bringing together the FSL<br />
and FFL students, as well as featuring the<br />
strong francophone presence and artists<br />
of the community.<br />
Keep an eye on www.french-future.org/<br />
