Canada recognized National Francophone Immigration Week November 7-13; an initiative by the Fédération des communautés francophones et acadiennes (FCFA).

In the Northwest Territories, the Conseil de développement économique des Territoires du Nord-Ouest (CDÉTNO) and the Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment (ITI) are celebrating four Francophone entrepreneurs who have chosen to make the NWT their new home. 

Get to know Roger, Aminata, Ghislain, and Isidore.

In collaboration with the Réseau en immigration francophone des TNO (RIFTNO), CDÉTNO organized a contest to highlight francophone immigrants who have started their businesses here.

ITI was happy to support CDÉTNO in the production of a video profiling the contest winner and their business. The promotional video will be debuted during international French Language and Francophonie Week in March 2022.
