The Office of the Commissioner of Yukon is pleased to support five community-led projects with a total of $15,000 through the Yukon Francophonie Day funding program.

This year’s funding recipients are École Émilie-Tremblay, Jack Hulland Elementary School, Les Essentielles, Programme Confluence and Société d’histoire francophone du Yukon.

This annual funding program supports community groups, businesses, municipalities and educational institutions in hosting events promoting the vitality and diversity of the Yukon Francophonie on and around May 15, the official Yukon Francophonie Day.

A heartfelt thank you to all applicants for their commitment to showcase the richness and vitality of the Yukon Francophonie. I am proud to continue supporting community-led initiatives that contribute to a vibrant Yukon through the celebration of language and culture. I invite all Yukoners to take part in the Yukon Francophonie Day festivities. Bonne Journée de la francophonie yukonnaise! – Commissioner of Yukon Adeline Webber
