Back to SearchClarence-Rockland – September 24, 2021 – I would like to wish Happy Franco-Ontarian Day to everyone that will celebrate tomorrow, September 25, 2021.
The Franco-Ontarian flag was raised for the first time in Sudbury on September 25, 1975, and has continued to represent this rich culture ever since. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, it will be impossible to gather at the Franco-Ontarian monument to celebrate this important day.
I therefore invite you to take a few minutes tomorrow to commemorate the importance of this day. There are many ways to do so. You can buy the book of a Franco-Ontarian author, listen to a song list by francophone artists from Ontario or watch videos of local comedians. You will see all the talent our Franco-Ontarian artists and artisans have.
Another way to discover the area’s francophone culture is by visiting our museum located at 687, Laurier Street in Rockland, by doing the City of Clarence-Rockland Heritage Tour, or by joining a local francophone club.
To all the Franco-Ontarians living in the City of Clarence-Rockland, have a great celebration and continue to be proud of our beautiful language.
