Francophone community in Canada:

Raphaƫlle Couratin:

In 2016, Raphaƫlle moved to Canada permanently with her partner Fabien from France with the thought of spending her life with snow, cold, and uncrowded ski trails to run with our dogs. He became a permanent resident of Canada, started living in northwest Canada's Yukon territory, and started her skills as a French teacher at the Yukon Montessori School.

However, Francophone communities exist in other provinces, such as New Brunswick, Ontario, and Manitoba. These communities contribute to the cultural diversity of Canada, enriching the country with their unique language, customs, and traditions. The Francophone community in Canada is an integral part of the country's multicultural identity, fostering a sense of unity and inclusivity among its citizens.
