Beyond Riel

Episode 8: Francophone Rights and Representation

For our final episode we will be look­ing at orga­ni­za­tions that rep­re­sent Fran­coph­o­nes in Man­i­to­ba and across Cana­da. We will also talk about the Offi­cial Lan­guages Act, which man­dates the fed­er­al gov­ern­ment, among oth­er things, to pro­vide French and Eng­lish ser­vices across Cana­da. To guide us on this con­ver­sa­tion we’ve invit­ed Justin Johnson.
