Franco-Ontarian community

The Franco-Ontarian community comprises French-speaking residents of Ontario, Canada, who maintain their language, culture, and traditions. Though Ontario is predominantly English-speaking, this community has a rich history rooted in early French settlers and has grown through migration and support for French language rights. They celebrate their identity through cultural festivals, schools, media, and organizations that promote French language and heritage. The community plays an important role in Ontario’s diverse cultural landscape, advocating for bilingual services and preserving their unique contribution to Canadian multiculturalism.
