Our 2010 French for the Future Forum was held at Glendon College, York University where we welcomed 225 students from the Toronto area.

Our theme of "Deux langues...un  monde de possibiliés" allowed us to offer ten workshops inspired by our world today: sport (our big Olympic year), humanitarian work critical to the current crisis in Haïti and the arts (theatre, ballet, and cuisine) to name a few.

We hope we inspired the students and re-affirmed to them the pivotal role of bilingualism in Canada and on the world stage.
