For many years now, in May, Simon Fraser University's Surrey campus has had the pleasure of hosting the provincial finals of the Concours d'art oratoire organized by Canadian Parents for French, British Colombia & Yukon.

Concours d’art oratoire is a longstanding public speaking competition for youth from Grades 7 to 12 who are learning French in school. It’s a great way to honor their many hours of hard work and to celebrate official language bilingualism in Canada. The contest is open to students in every province and territory and in a wide range of age/grade categories and French abilities. Thousands of students participate every year in communities big and small, for the opportunity to win prizes or scholarships to postsecondary institutions.

OFFA is pleased to count the Conseil jeunesse francophone de la Colombie-Britannique (CJFCB) among its partners. Since its creation in 1989, the CJFCB has held the ‘BY and FOR youth’ as a foundational principle. As a non-profit and charitable organization, it is today considered a major stakeholder in all things related to French-speaking youth in British Columbia. It offers a rich program of activities and services for the province's Francophone and French-immersion youth.
