Franco-Ontarian Day
Franco-Ontarian Day was officially announced in 2010 to celebrate the importance of the Francophone community to the social, economic, and political life of Ontario.
Francophones make up 4.7% of the population of Ontario, and although Francophones only account for 2.1% of the total population in Central Ontario, the region is home to 30.7% of the province's Francophone population, 1/3 of which lives in Toronto.
