More Designated French Language Services Available
The provincial government has added 21 new designated services under the French Language Services Act to give French-speaking Islanders better access to services in their language.
These services fall under the departments of Education and Early Years, Health and Wellness, and Transport and Infrastructure, as well as Health PEI, and are available through the Prince Edward Island Government website.
“We are pleased to have an additional 21 designated services added this year, doubling the total number of services previously available. This is just one example of our continued commitment to support the Acadian and Francophone community in our province.”
– Minister Responsible for Acadian and Francophone Affairs, Gilles Arsenault
With the addition of these 21 services, a total of 40 services have been designated under the French Language Services Act since it came into effect in 2013.
