McGuinty Government Recognizes Outstanding Ontarians

The Ontario government and Assemblée de la francophonie de l'Ontario (AFO) will co-host the Francophonie Awards on October 23, 2010, during the AFO's centennial gala.

Awarded every two years, these awards honour a Francophone and a Francophile who have recently had a significant impact on the political, social, economic or cultural vitality of Ontario's Francophone community. In addition, the new Youth Francophonie Award, which was created this year, will recognize an exceptional Francophone or Francophile under the aged of 25.

The submission deadline has been extended until September 10, 2010.
