The Yellowknife Forum is almost here!

French for the Future Local Forum is an inspiring and dynamic one-day event that brings together middle and high school students enrolled in French programs from across the region. Designed to celebrate bilingualism and promote continued French language learning, the day is filled with energy and creativity.

Throughout the day, students have the chance to meet and mingle with peers from other schools, win exciting prizes, enjoy a delicious lunch, visit exhibitor booths and have fun!

The forum will empower  youth to see French not just as a school subject, but as a key to new opportunities, friendships, and a vibrant cultural world waiting to be explored. We hope to see you there!
