On May 7, 2024, Alberta launched its new Francophone Policy Action Plan, which sets the direction for improving services and resources for French-speaking Albertans, helping to sustain and celebrate Alberta’s Francophonie.

French is an important part of Alberta’s culture, which has helped shape the Albertan identity. The French-speaking community has grown to more than 261,000 people, making it the largest language community in the province after English.

Over the past year, Alberta’s government has collaborated with more than 30 francophone community leaders to develop the 2024-28 French Policy Action Plan. This is a new, comprehensive strategy to better support French-speaking Albertans by enhancing and expanding French-language services.
