Fredericton local forum 2026

DETAILS OF THE EVENT

The Fredericton Forum is almost here!
Forget the usual routine! On April 22 and 23, 2026, we’re taking over St. Thomas University to change the way you experience French.
The Fredericton Local Forum is the place to be! Where more than 300 students from across the region come together for a total, high-energy immersion experience.
Here’s what’s waiting for you: dynamic workshops designed to spark your curiosity and get you talking with students from both linguistic communities; a chance to meet new people from different schools and make new friends. The perfect opportunity to explore Francophone and Acadian culture, sharpen your language skills, and live an experience you’ll never forget.
No matter your level, whether you’ve spoken French your whole life or you’re just looking for a cool new challenge, this forum is for you. It’s your time to speak up, connect, and above all, have an incredible time!
