French Language Day is observed every year on March 20 to celebrate multilingualism and cultural diversity. French Language Day was established by the United Nations (UN) as an opportunity to make the international community aware of the history, culture and use of the French language.

In the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB), we are proud to offer two pathways for students to learn French or grow their French language skills. Beginning in Grade 1, all students have access to French-Language programs through either the Core French or French Immersion programs.
