Mr. Speaker, French culture is in good health in western Canada and the residents of Legal in my riding are celebrating its richness.
When Canadians think about the francophonie, their thoughts turn to the east and the French culture of Quebec and New Brunswick. There is, however, a flourishing culture in Canada's west, in Alberta and in Legal, Alberta, in particular.
The pride its people take toward their heritage is such that they have undertaken to make their city Canada's capital of French mural art.
Murals on French culture have begun to appear on the walls of numerous buildings. The citizens of Legal invite francophones and all Canadians to come and celebrate their heritage with them.
Bravo to the city of Legal and its murals.
