September 25 is a special day for Ottawa’s and Ontario’s francophone community. It is Franco-Ontarian Day and that date was chosen for special reasons.
The Province chose the celebration date to recognize the Franco-Ontarian flag. That green and white flag – created by history professor Gaétan Gervais and first-year political science student Michel Dupuis, both from Laurentian University – was first raised on September 25, 1975. The Province officially declared September 25 the annual date for Franco-Ontarian Day in 2010, the year that marked the 400th anniversary of Francophones in Ontario.
Celebrate with us this year! The Mayor will mark Franco-Ontarian Day on Friday, September 24 by raising the Franco-Ontarian flag during the Festival franco-ontarien at 6:45 p.m. In fact, check out Major’s Hill Park that evening and on Saturday, September 25 to enjoy all this year’s Festival franco-ontarien events. Visit the Festival website for details on programming and participation to the festival.
A Franco-Ontarian flag flies permanently at Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West, over Marion Dewar Plaza and at the Centre d’accueil Champlain, 275 rue Perrier. Several other City facilities will fly the Franco-Ontarian flag on September 25 from dawn until dusk, including:
Almost a quarter of the Franco-Ontarian population lives in the Ottawa area. Let’s reflect on their contributions to the cultural, social, economic, historic and political fabric of Ottawa.
Happy Franco-Ontarian Day! Celebrate with your green and white!
