CELEBRATE FRENCH IMMERSION

French immersion students are getting ready to celebrate next week.

The governments of B.C. and the Yukon are recognizing Feb. 5 to 11 as French Immersion Celebration Week.

In B.C., more than 238,000 students are enrolled in French second language programs. Nearly eight per cent of B.C.'s students are in French immersion.

Canadian Parents for French will organize events across the province, with a focus on inclusion.

You don't need to speak French or be enrolled in immersion to enjoy the celebrations. For more information, visit www.cpf. bc.ca or contact Glyn Lewis at 778-329-9115 ext. 316 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
