The B.C. Government is investing $250,000 to support six non-profits in delivering initiatives reflecting the needs and priorities of the province’s francophone communities.
“This year’s recipients highlight the strength and creativity of francophone organizations across British Columbia,” said Minister Responsible for Francophone Affairs Adrian Dix.
“I’m especially proud that this funding is supporting projects not only in major centres, but also in communities like Prince George, as well as those in the West Kootenays. These initiatives help ensure that francophones in these regions can continue to celebrate their culture and identity, and strengthen the fabric of vibrant, inclusive communities across the province.”
Le Cercle des Canadiens français de Prince George is receiving $60,000 for a project offering basic digital skills training to francophones in B.C. facing barriers entering the job market.
The project will be focused primarily on adults from under-represented groups, combining practical workshops, individual coaching and French-language teaching materials.
