Listen "Episode 8: Francophone Rights and Representation"
Episode Synopsis
For our final episode we will be looking at organizations that represent Francophones in Manitoba and across Canada. We will also talk about the Official Languages Act, which mandates the federal government, among other things, to provide French and English services across Canada. To guide us on this conversation we’ve invited Justin Johnson. 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.
