Les Fransaskois - Saskatchewan’s Francophones

Saskatchewan's Francophone presence dates back to the 17th century, when New France was an influence across most of North America. Today, more than 16,000 Francophones still use French and more than 50,000 residents of Saskatchewan are able to communicate in French. Together, these individuals make up the Saskachewan Francophone community, the Fransaskois.

The history of the Fransaskois is rich with challenges and successes. It is the story of a proud and vibrant community that built itself a place in the history of our province and, at the same time, a place in the province's future.
