The French survivors of Regulation 17 whose green and white flag, Ottawa valley roots, and bilingual university battle made them the largest and most embattled Francophone community outside Quebec.
Franco-Ontariens — the largest francophone community outside Quebec, whose roots in the Ottawa Valley, Northeastern Ontario, and the old Jesuit mission country of Huronia stretch back to the earliest days of New France, and whose survival through Regulation 17 of 1912 — Ontario's notorious ban on French-language instruction that provoked one of the most passionate resistance movements in Canadian educational history — forged a community identity as tenacious as any in the country. From the bilingual institutions of Ottawa to the mining towns of Sudbury and the farming communities of Prescott-Russell, Franco-Ontariens built the schools, hospitals, and cultural organizations that sustain a distinct French-speaking society in the heart of English Canada, their green and white flag with its trillium and fleur-de-lis a proud symbol of a community that has fought for every right it holds. This interactive sweatshirt connects you to that enduring legacy with a QR code linking to the full story.
