What's your dream? My dream is to work in the environmental sector and help build a greener future. As a French Immersion student and trilingual speaker, I hope to make French part of my everyday life and career. I want to use languages to connect across cultures, inspire change, and work on solutions that protect our planet and create lasting impact.
Tell us about a Francophone event you particularly enjoyed and why: Although it was not a fully francophone event, I participated in the Young Canadians’ Parliament organized by Children First Canada from November 2025 to March 2026, where I had the chance to hear from several francophone parliamentarians. In my environmental group, we worked on the “No Plastic No” bill, available in French, which made it to the national debate. This experience showed me the important role French plays in decision-making spaces across Canada.
Tell us why you're looking forward to FNJA! I’m excited to meet other French-speaking youth from across the country and share my passion for French through real conversations!
