Note(s) : "By the late 1950s Canada's francophone and Acadian minority communities located outside
Quebec were in rapid decline. Demographic, economic, socio-cultural, institutional,
and political factors that had sustained both the concept and the reality of French
Canada for well over a century were being eliminated or transformed at an unprecedented
rate. Convinced that education was one of the essential keys to the renewal and growth
of their communities, francophone organizations and leaders lobbied for constitutional
entrenchments of official bilingualism and of a mandated Charter right to education
in their own language, including the right to governance over their own schools and
school boards. From those efforts a new, vigorous francophone pan-Canadian national
community emerged, one capable of ensuring the survival of its constituent communities
well into the twenty-first century."--Jacket.
