I was struck by the explicit effort that the organizers of the torch relay made to ensure that this very complicated route included francophone minority communities. In terms of the cultural Olympiad and various other cultural events around it, the Fondation canadienne pour le dialogue des cultures has been very involved in the cultural discussions around the Olympics. I think they have had some positive news recently about support for La place de la francophonie 2010, where there will be a whole series of French-language performances on Granville Island during the games.
