In our last episode, we spoke with Derrek Bentley about his experiences as someone who identifies as a Francophone, despite not coming from a Francophone family. Derrek’s experience is not unique to him; on today’s episode we discuss Francophone identity and community inclusion through the lens of immigration. We welcome Blandine Tona to explore this important aspect. This pod­cast is co-hosted by executive producers André Marchildon, a Franco-Manitoban, and Ian T. D. Thomson, a born and raised Winnipegger who grew up speaking only English. The music in Beyond Riel comes from Franco-Manitoban artist Rayannah. The series is sponsored by la Société de la francophonie manitobaine and sup­ported by a Taking It Global grant.
