THE LRSP CAMPAIGN
ON EDUCATION RIGHTS 
 
The LRSP's awareness campaign on constitutional language rights in the field of education will be launched at the end of February 2015 in the media and on the LRSP's website.

We have worked with our English-speaking partners, QCGN, QFHSA and QESBA, as well as our Francophone partners, FCFA, CNPF, FJCF and FNCSF. Their interviews will be published in a special insert which will be available in many English-language newspapers in Quebec and Francophone community newspapers outside of Quebec. 

As well, informative messages, interviews with our partners and ads will be broadcast starting at the end of February by English-language community radio stations in Quebec and French-language community radio stations outside of Quebec.

Stay tuned!
