Established in 1972, the Francophonie jeunesse de l’Alberta
(FJA) is a youth organization directed at individuals of 16 to
25 years of age. The organization attempts to help interested
youth live more fully in French, a situation that can be
difficult when one belongs to a minority group.
The association assists young people develop projects and
social activities, offering leadership courses and the annual
RaJe meeting for the francophone youth of the province. The 2004
meeting took place at Sherwood Park.
The FJA is currently directed by Guy Cormier and organized
the 2004 Fête Franco-Albertaine, held in Beaumont and deemed a
success. |
