Canadian Heritage
Bonne Saint-Jean-Baptiste! These are the words we hear everywhere in French-speaking Canada today. This celebration of the French language is the occasion for hundreds of festivities across Canada, including Quebec, where the day is officially known as the Fête nationale (national holiday).
Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day is an opportunity to get together and show our pride in speaking French. Today, Francophones and Francophiles celebrate the beauty and richness of the French language and reaffirm the importance of preserving it.
