BIG THANKS to our 2024 partners!
Les Rendez-vous de la Francophonie is an initiative of the Dialogue Foundation and is made possible by the contributions from its many partners and sponsors. Thank you!
Mario Péloquin
President and CEO of VIA Rail Canada
VIA Rail Canada is proud to support the 26th edition of Les Rendez-vous de la Francophonie, celebrating the rich Francophone cultural diversity across Canada.
This year’s festive theme, “Launch into Discovery!,” highlights the role of youth as key agents of change and cultural transmission within the Francophonie. I ride the train a lot, and I appreciate seeing young people connecting in French and using VIA Rail to explore and engage with communities across the country.
By supporting the Rendez-vous de la Francophonie, VIA Rail reaffirms its commitment to official languages, inclusion, and connecting Canadian communities.
Join us in March to celebrate the richness of the Francophonie across Canada!
Suzanne Guèvremont
Government Film Commissioner and Chairperson of the National Film Board of Canada (NFB)
For the 19th year in a row, the NFB is taking part in Les Rendez-vous de la Francophonie, whose latest edition is celebrating the joy of discovery. Five programs of documentary and animated films will be available free of charge to francophones and francophiles across the country, in person and online, bringing audiences a wide array of stories, perspectives and experiences. This offer reflects the NFB’s ongoing commitment to promoting French-language culture in communities across Canada.
Enjoy your discoveries!
