Journee du Drapeau Franco-Ontarien
On Wednesday, September 25, some of our Grade 2 to 4 French Immersion will be celebrating the French language and culture in Ontario. September 25th is Franco-Ontarian Day, a day to commemorate our community and its history. The green and white Franco-Ontarian flag was designed and first raised by a group at Laurentian University in Sudbury in 1975. Green and white are the two colours on the flag to represent the two opposite climates in Ontario. The flag also includes a white trillium, Ontario’s provincial flower, and a fleur de lys, which is symbolic of French language and culture. Students will watch as the flag was raised and sang the song “Mon beau drapeau.”
