Vancouver, BC - Bilingualism Rocks! is a traveling production of bilingual entertainers sponsored by the BC & Yukon Branch of Canadian Parents for French thanks to the financial assistance of Canadian Heritage and the Francophone School Authority of British Columbia. Bilingualism Rocks! brings young Canadians together in celebration of our shared history and heritage.

This second edition of Bilingualism Rocks! features a specially commissioned piece Klondike by Alberta’s musical and storytelling duo Trad’badour (www.tradbadour.ca). The duo of Roger Dallaire (storyteller and singer) and Daniel Gervais (fiddle) is one of the best kept secrets on the Western Canadian music circuit, with their idiosyncratic blend of traditional Francophone folk and contemporary country music served with a dash of cabaret.

The tour kicks off on Thursday, November 4 in Golden, with performances taking place across BC between November 2010 and February 2011.

Canadian Parents for French (CPF) is the national network of volunteers which values French as an integral part of Canada and which is dedicated to the promotion and creation of French second language learning opportunities for young Canadians.
