Nominations for the Lieutenant-Governor’s inaugural Nova Scotia Francophonie Award are now being accepted.
The award was created in August 2020 by Lt.-Gov. Arthur J. LeBlanc and recognizes people whose social, economic or cultural contributions have made a difference in the francophone community and in Nova Scotia as a whole.
The award will recognize three outstanding citizens across three categories: a francophone, a francophile – someone who is not francophone but supports and promotes French language and culture – and a youth recipient under the age of 25.
For the inaugural offering, two awards per category will be presented.
The deadline for nominations is Friday, February 26.
