Welcome to Hamilton's Francophone Community!
Hamilton is much more than a vibrant city in the heart of Ontario — it is also a lively and inclusive French-speaking community. Our francophone community is rich in diversity, bringing together residents from various backgrounds, united by the French language and the desire to live, work and thrive in French.
Whether you are looking for services in French, cultural activities, resources for families, or simply a place where you feel at home, Hamilton has everything you need. A wide range of organizations, associations and local partners work every day to provide a full array of services and experiences in French.
Hamilton is proud to have been designated a Francophone Welcoming Community in 2019, a national recognition awarded to only 24 communities across Canada. This designation reflects the city's concrete commitment to welcoming and integrating newcomer francophones in a warm and supportive environment.
New to Hamilton? You are not alone. The francophone community supports you every step of the way through your integration, with personalized services, fitted support and a network of people ready to welcome you with open arms.
