The Advisory Committee on Francophone Affairs presented the Minister Responsible for Francophone Affairs, Alana Ross, with two new reports detailing their on-going review and analysis of programs and policies in both the culture and inclusion sector, as well as the health sector. These reports are used to guide the implementation of Saskatchewan’s French-language Services Policy.
“The Government of Saskatchewan is committed to ongoing engagement with the Francophone community,” Ross said. “We look forward to continuing to work together on these and other important opportunities to address the needs of French communities across the province.”
In preparing these reports, the committee met with representatives from ministries and agencies, as well as representatives of Francophone community organizations. The resulting reports contain several recommendations.
“I am honored to support the vitality of the French language and culture in Saskatchewan,” Advisory Committee on Francophone Affairs Chair Alpha Barry said. “The two reports released today offer thoughtful and actionable recommendations on culture and health that would improve access to French-language services across the province, in alignment with the French-language Services Policy. These efforts underscore our collective commitment to meeting the needs of Saskatchewan’s Francophone community and fostering its continued growth and vibrancy.”
