Les Rendez-vous de la Francophonie (RVF) is one of the cultural events organized annually to celebrate International Francophonie Day (March 20), which promotes the French language and the many ways it is expressed across Canada.

From March 1 to 31, Canada will be celebrating its Francophonie! Hundreds of activities are planned across the country, including multicultural gatherings, performances, film screenings, contests, and educational activities—it’s all cause to celebrate!

The RVF is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate together!
