Ordre de la Pléiade


The Ontario Section of the Assemblée parlementaire de la Francophonie has announced the names of the recipients of the Ordre de la Pléiade medal for 2016. The recipients were selected by a non-partisan committee of parliamentarians for their exceptional contribution to the Ontarian Francophonie.

The LRSP congratulates all the recipients, particularly Professor Pierre Foucher of the University of Ottawa. 

The investiture ceremony will take place in spring 2016 at the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in Toronto.
