Moose Jaw and Gravelbourg are part of the Welcoming Francophone Communities initiative (WFC)

 

Moose Jaw and Gravelbourg were selected to take part in the Welcoming Francophone Communities initiative (WFC), (https://www.rif-sk.ca/cfa/initiative-cfa). This initiative benefits from the support of the Francophone Immigration Network of Saskatchewan (RIF-SK) (https://www.rif-sk.ca) for its implementation. 14 communities across Canada outside of Quebec were chosen to take part in this initiative. Its goal is to strengthen the inclusion and retention of French-speaking newcomers to Canada.

 

The Welcoming Francophone Communities initiative is part of a national strategy (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/new-immigrants/prepare-life-canada/choose-city/francophone-communities-outside-quebec/welcome.html). Its aims to enhance the vitality of Francophone minority communities through immigration.

 

 The communities of Moose Jaw and Gravelbourg already offer Francophone schools (https://ecolefrancophone.com/fr/portails) and French immersion schools (https://www.bonjoursk.ca/fr/education/avantage-langue-seconde), French classes (https://www.bonjoursk.ca/fr/francophonie/moose-jaw) and a vibrant Francophone presence (https://www.facebook.com/ACFMooseJaw/).
