When asked about French Week, Saba Mirabolghasemi, a member of French Council as well as a National Youth Ambassador for the organization French for the Future, stated that “As a proud francophone, I believe that learning French opens you to a world of possibilities, and I encourage all students in immerse themselves in the francophone world, both inside and outside of the classroom.”

The French language, as well as French culture, is definitely one worth learning about. According to a study published by Statistics Canada, the number of bilingual people in Canada has never stopped increasing over the past 50 years. Additionally, the number of people who speak French as their first official language has increased from 7.4 million in 2006 to 7.7 million in 2011.

True to their motive, French Council has provided the students of St. Robert CHS with a fun week filled with both educational and enjoyable French-themed activities. Be sure to look out for more fun events planned by French Council throughout the year.
