We are proud to announce funding to strengthen French as a second language (FSL) programming in Nova Scotia and reinforce the vital role bilingualism plays in connecting Canadians from coast to coast to coast.
Today, the Honourable Lena Metlege Diab, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship and Member of Parliament (Halifax West), announced more than $540,000 to support the annual programming of Canadian Parents for French - Nova Scotia. She made this announcement on behalf of the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages.
This investment supports a range of initiatives that will enhance access to French-language learning opportunities for children and youth; empower families to navigate FSL education; and help build more vibrant, and inclusive communities across the province. Through its programming, Canadian Parents for French (CPF) helps young people develop strong language skills, cultural awareness and a sense of belonging within Canada's bilingual identity.
The Government of Canada is committed to promoting linguistic duality and supporting organizations that advance French as a second language. Investments such as this one help ensure that youth across Nova Scotia can improve their second language and fully participate in Canada's social and cultural life-broadening their horizons and opening doors to new opportunities.
