The French fur traders and gold rush settlers whose Pacific shore community made Vancouver the most surprising francophone city west of the Rockies.
Franco-Colombiens — the French-speaking community of British Columbia whose origins lie with the francophone fur traders of the North West Company, the Oblate missionaries of the Fraser Canyon, and the Quebec-born prospectors who joined the Gold Rush of 1858, establishing a French presence on the Pacific slope long before the Canadian Pacific Railway linked the province to the rest of Canada. Today Vancouver's Alliance française, the Fédération des francophones de la Colombie-Britannique, and a growing network of French-language schools serve a community swelled by francophone immigrants from France, Africa, and the Caribbean, making BC's francophone population one of Canada's most cosmopolitan and fastest-growing, a Pacific outpost of the French language as far from Quebec as it is possible to travel while remaining in Canada. This interactive t-shirt connects you to that dynamic legacy with a QR code linking to the full story.
