Executive summary : Horizon 2018 : toward stronger support of French-language learning in British Columbia.: Y9-26/2017E-PDF

In this report, the Standing Senate Committee on Official Languages chose to focus on accessing French first-language and French second-language education in British Columbia because the province is a typical case in which francophone schools and French immersion programs face significant challenges. These challenges, however, are not unique to B.C. and the lessons learned in this report can also be applied in other jurisdictions. The current report builds on the committee’s 2015 report called Aiming Higher: Increasing bilingualism of our Canadian youth.
