Request for Proposals Canadian Francophone Games 2025

Request for Proposals CFGames 2025

Ottawa, June 15th, 2022 – The Fédération de la jeunesse canadienne-française (French Canadian Youth Federation) is proud to relaunch its Request for proposals in preparation for the 8th Jeux de la francophonie canadienne (Canadian Francophone Games), which will be held in the summer of 2025.

The Canadian Francophone Games are a national triennial event that fosters connections by presenting a unique program combining the arts, cooperation, leadership, and sports. They showcase more than a thousand French-speaking young aged 14 to 18 from across Canada. Hundreds of volunteers work behind the scenes, developing their skills, and creating a festive atmosphere in their host community. The Canadian Francophone Games provide youth with cultural pride, self-confidence and leadership abilities in a friendly, competitive setting.

Cities or organizations that wish to submit their application can obtain all relevant information by visiting the Games’ website. Please note that official documents are only available in French, as les Jeux de la francophonie canadienne is a francophone event, but that an English summary is available.

A letter of intent must be submitted before August 15th, 2022, and bids will be accepted until December 15th 2022. The host committee will be announced in 2023.

For more information, please contact the Games’ Manager at caroline@fjcf.ca.

FJCF gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the Government of Canada, for its ongoing support of the Jeux de la francophonie canadienne since their inception in 1999.

The FJCF is a national organization led BY and FOR youth, made up of eleven associate members from nine provinces and two territories. It develops and undertakes numerous projects, while working with French-speaking youth to ensure their development and fulfillment as a group that stands up and claims its rightful place as proud Francophones.

Cancellation of the Jeux de la francophonie canadienne in Victoria

Ottawa, December 15, 2021 – It is with great emotion that the Fédération de la jeunesse canadienne-française (FJCF) announces the cancellation of the 8th edition of the Jeux de la francophonie canadienne (JeuxFC) (Canadian Francophone Games).

This difficult decision is necessary in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Despite all the work that has been done to ensure the event could be held and the solid plans that have been put in place to make it happen, ensuring the health and safety of everyone involved with the JeuxFC is a priority, but also a formidable challenge.

“We share the great disappointment of the Francophone community of Victoria, of British Columbia, of the youth, as well as our members and partners who were committed to making these JeuxFC a can’t-miss event. We would like to thank and acknowledge the tireless work of the Victoria Organizing Committee, which has been on board since 2016,” says FJCF President Marguerite Tölgyesi.

The FJCF would also like to thank all the people, community and financial partners who have believed in this adventure and who have devoted their energy to it over the years.

The FJCF and its primary funder, the Government of Canada, remain committed to this important flagship event for French-speaking youth across the country.
