In 1982, when section 23 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was adopted, the Canadian Constitution gave linguistic minorities the right to be educated in their own language.

Certains témoignages révèlent un engagement hors du commun pour la francophonie : les avocats se consacrent aux diverses causes, les parents et les élèves sont prêts à bien des sacrifices au nom de l’éducation en français. Demandez à vos élèves quels sont les exemples d’un engagement remarquable dans votre milieu?
