Indeed, the situation varies greatly from one region to another. Even in the region where I live, in New Brunswick, people are considered to be perfectly bilingual. That is not the case where I come from. On the Acadian peninsula, French is really the priority; it is the language of the majority, to the point where some people think that we are a majority community, not a minority one.
The situations are not the same, but when we communicate with our colleagues from regions where French may be less prevalent, I am always amazed to see the desire, the will and the ability to work and create meaningful French-language experiences for young people. We are not at the same level, but when we network, we can learn from each other.
