Canada-Alberta Agreement Enhances French-Language Services

The recent ratification of the Canada-Alberta Agreement on French-Language Services marks a significant investment of over $11.2 million from the federal government to support French-language services in Alberta from 2023 to 2028. This funding aims to bolster sectors such as arts, culture, and heritage, alongside economic and social services, enhancing accessibility for the Franco-Albertan community. The agreement underscores ongoing intergovernmental cooperation in promoting bilingualism and supporting minority-language communities, aligning with ten similar agreements signed over the past year.
