Always an exciting day for the students of École catholique Saint-Dominique-Savio, they came to celebrate Franco-Ontarian Day at Owen Sound city hall, and watch the Franco-Ontarian flag be raised over the city.

September 25 was officially declared to be Franco-Ontario Day in 2010 in recognition of the Franco‑Ontarian flag, created by Gaétan Gervais and Michel Dupuis and raised for the first time on September 25, 1975.

Ontario is home to the largest Francophone community in Canada outside Quebec.
