Ottawa – The Mayor of Ottawa proclaimed Franco-Ontarian Day in the city of Ottawa this morning at a flag-raising ceremony to mark the 39th anniversary of the first raising of this emblem of the Franco-Ontarian community.
The events and ceremonies to mark Franco-Ontarian Day are a joint effort led by the Association des communautés francophones d’Ottawa (ACFO) and the two French school boards in Ottawa, le Conseil des écoles publiques de l’Est de l’Ontario (CEPEO) and le Conseil des écoles catholiques du Centre-Est (CECCE), in partnership with the City of Ottawa. The Franco-Ontarian flag was raised at municipal buildings across the City, at locations listed below.
“The flag is a wonderful symbol of the spirit of Francophone culture in Ontario, which has a rich history in Ottawa,” said the Mayor. “Proclaiming this special anniversary honours our city’s Francophone community and celebrates its heritage and joie de vivre.”
The official flag-raising ceremony followed a community ‘’Francowalk” from City Hall to Waverley Avenue and back with Francophones and Francophiles wearing green and white to reflect the colours of the Franco-Ontarian flag.
Starting in 2010, the provincial government proclaimed September 25th of each year as Franco-Ontarian Day to officially recognize the contribution of Ontario's Francophone community to the cultural, historical, social, economic and political life of the province.
The Franco-Ontarian Flag was created in 1975 by Laurentian University history professor Gaétan Gervais and first year political science student Michel Dupuis. It was officially recognized as the emblem of the Franco-Ontarian community in the Franco-Ontarian Emblem Act of 2001.
