Our famous Concours d'art oratoire is back this April! Held at Cegep Gérald-Godin and proudly sponsored once again by Druide, the makers of the Antidote Software. 

Concours is a French-speaking competition for high school students throughout the province. Students write an original speech on a topic of their choice, which they present in front of a panel of judges, their parents and their peers. 

Secondary V students who win their category advance to the National Concours in Ottawa, Ontario. There, they compete against Provincial Concours winners from across Canada for a chance to win scholarships to the University of Ottawa and other Canadian universities (some in excess of $20,000).

At the end of January, the National CPF board and staff members met in Quebec City. Over the weekend, we had the opportunity to meet with members in the Valcartier Anglophone Community as well as Christopher Skeete, MNA for Ste-Rose and responisble for relations with English-Speaking Quebecers and Bill Floch from the Secretariat. 

Great discusstions were had surrounding the realities for French Second Language learning in Quebec and its importance to the Anglophone community. We are looking forward to continuing our work together!

On February 6th, three members of the CPF team met with our advisory committee in Montreal. Representatives from the Quebec Federation of Home and School Associations, Townshippers and OCOL were present. 

This committee meets three times a year to ensure that CPF's activities are in line with the needs of English Speaking Quebec.

Thank you to all those who were able to participate.
