MAKING YOUR ORGANIZATION BILINGUAL
An online guide and source of practical tools to help you offer services in English and French.

Providing services in both official languages not only represents an open acknowledgment of Canada's bilingual character on your part, it also presents a number of competitive advantages for your organization. Your new stance will allow you to: reach a larger portion of your target public, increase your membership, provide better services, access new sources of funding and sponsorship.

Did you know that ...
Canada's French-speaking population ranks second only to France worldwide. It is larger than the Francophone populations of Switzerland and Belgium combined. The number of Francophones outside Quebec equals the population of an entire province like Saskatchewan, New Brunswick or Nova Scotia.

One Canadian in four has French as a mother tongue and close to one Canadian in three speaks French. 1.6 million of Canada's French-speaking population have an ancestry other than French or English.
