Francophone and Acadian Community Profile of Canada

This national profile of francophone and Acadian communities in Canada is a compendium of up-to-date information on francophones and Acadians in all areas of the country, including the provinces, the territories and twenty-two distinct regions. It is part of the collection of francophone and Acadian profiles in Canada developed in 2000 by the Fédération des communautés francophones et acadienne du Canada (FCFA) as part of the Dialogue project. There are also provincial and territorial profiles which describe the current state of francophone affairs in each province and territory, and define the distinctive traits of their francophone groups.

This updated edition takes into account the data made available following the 2001 census. It also contains a section on francophone diversity.

Following a general historical and geographic introduction, this profile is divided into two distinct sections:

• The first is a statistical portrait of the communities whose native language is French from the perspective of language, the economy and demographics.
• The second is a community report which provides information on the most important national organizations and a general view of government services and statutes.
