Today, Statistics Canada is releasing four short portraits that provide an overview of the trends observed from 2001 to 2016 for the French language in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.
The fact sheets are based on data taken from the Census of Population and the 2011 National Household Survey and provide information on the population who have French as their first official language spoken, mother tongue, language spoken at home or used at work, as well as the population who can speak French well enough to sustain a conversation.
