The French presence in Newfoundland and Labrador . : SF31-134/1-2016E-PDF

"The first French fishermen arrived on the coast of Newfoundland in 1504. In 1660, a French colony was established at Plaisance (now Placentia). From the 17th century to the beginning of the 20th century, French and Acadian fishermen settled mainly near the banks of St. George’s Bay and on the southwest part of the island. The community spokesgroup, the Fédération des francophones de Terre-Neuve et du Labrador, was formed in 1973. The first French-language school was established in Mainland in 1984. The Franco-Newfoundlander and Labradorian flag was adopted in 1986. In 2015, the provincial government adopted its first French Language Services Policy"--History, p. [1].
