Thank you.
Good afternoon. My name is Justin Carey, and I am the volunteer President of the Association franco-culturelle de Hay River. With me today is Simon Lepage, Vice-President and also a volunteer with the Association.
Ours is a non-profit organization that was established in 1987. It has been legally constituted since 1999. The Association's mission is to work towards the affirmation and development of the Francophone community in Hay River.
Hay River is one of the larger cities in the NWT with a population of 3,500, including approximately 150 Francophones, or rather, 150 residents who speak French.
I will turn it over to Mr. Lepage to continue our presentation.
