Ontario Francophonies Moving Toward a Plural Francophonie

As part of our new event series dedicated to the Faculty of Education’s alumni community, we are pleased to invite you to the very first event in the series: Alumni Voices in Education.

Under the theme “Ontario Francophonies Moving Toward a Plural Francophonie”, this event highlights the diversity of pathways, the vitality, and the richness of plural francophone experiences in Ontario. Today, this francophonie is shaped by a variety of individuals who contribute to its strength and evolution.

Through a discussion led by members of our Faculty community, we will explore the multiple realities that make up Ontario’s francophonies, as well as the perspectives and opportunities that lie ahead.
