Thank you, Mr. Vandal.
I am a teacher and I also supply teach a few times a month for a rural school board north of Edmonton. It has a small immersion program in Sturgeon, which has seven teachers and about 100 students.
The challenge in rural communities is dealing with the lack of resources. We do not have access to professional development and, sometimes, we do not have access to Francophone communities, especially in the southern part of the province. Most Francophone communities in Alberta are located north of Red Deer, and there are no francophone communities in the south. There are no opportunities.
