With regard to the survival of the francophone community, we really see ourselves as an asset. We are see ourselves as something special that reinforces the fabric of Canadian citizenship. We do not see ourselves as a minority community, but rather as a community that happens to be a minority.
Our francophone community in Alberta is spreading its wings. No matter where you go, to the shopping centre, downtown, you hear people talking French. Fifteen years ago, people spoke French in whispers. Today, Albertan society has a different mindset. Canadians have changed the way they think. Instead of obstructing this improvement, it should be encouraged and promoted.
