Returning French to the French River

A Francophone resident from the Sudbury area informed us about an English-only sign marking the French River on Highway 69, located between Parry Sound and Sudbury. We brought this issue to the attention of the Ministry of Transportation.

RESULT: As a result of our intervention, the Ministry installed a new bilingual sign that reads “Rivière des Français/French River.” The Francophone thanked and commended us for our work.
