The Ministerial
Conference on the Canadian Francophonie is proud to
announce that its new website is live for the 14th
meeting of ministers responsible for the Canadian
Francophonie, which is being held in Vancouver,
September 23-24.
Accessible and
user-friendly, the site promotes the Canadian
Francophonie and provides information to the general
public�particularly Francophones and francophiles�on the
Conference, its initiatives and the ministers who are
members.
In addition to featuring
a section that introduces the Conference, the site has a
section on the �Canadian Francophonie,� where visitors
will find a map of the Canadian Francophonie that
contains a statistical profile for each province and
territory.
The new website also
allows French-speaking Canadians to contact the
Conference minister responsible for the Canadian
Francophonie who represents their province or territory.
Complete contact information for each member minister of
the Conference may be found under the �Ministers�
section.
The �Conferences� section
features clear and precise information on the key issues
and projects that were discussed at the annual meetings
held since 1994.
Finally, it is now
possible to consult and download documents published by
the Conference; simply go to the �Publications� section.
We invite you to visit
the website for the Ministerial Conference on the
Canadian Francophonie at
www.cmfc-mccf.ca.
A wealth of information awaits you!
