March is the Mois de la Francophonie and, in 2021, City celebrations will be held online.

To officially kick-off the month, the Mayor and Lise Sarazin, Executive Director of Le Regroupement des gens d’affaires de la Capitale nationale (RGA), are promoting the RGA’s Bilingualism: C’est payant! initiative. Local businesses seeking to give their enterprises a competitive advantage by attracting a larger and bilingual customer base can access products and services from the RGA including:

  • An updated lexicon with a wide range of useful business expressions in both official languages
  • Reduced translation costs
  • Graphic design support
  • Workshops
  • Promotion on the bilingualismRGA.ca website

Watch a video of the interview with Mayor Jim Watson and Lise Sarazin.

Due to the pandemic, the City’s annual Francophone RendezVous with the Mayor breakfast will be different. Instead of our usual get-together, the City will hold a Virtual Café RendezVous with the Mayor on Friday, March 19, one day before the Jour de la Francophonie.

Partnering with l’Association des communautés francophones d'Ottawa, the City will highlight what cultural organizations and other groups are doing to adapt and stay connected during the pandemic. We will also take a few moments to recognize the Jour de la Francophonie! You can enjoy the virtual coffee break via the Mayor’s Facebook page, live on Rogers Cable channel 23 or on their website at 8 am on Friday, March 19.

Almost a quarter of Franco-Ontarians call Ottawa home. The City is proud of the impact our Francophone community has had on Ottawa’s past and present, and we look forward to their contributions in shaping our future. Happy Mois de la Francophonie!
