French in British Columbia
Thanks to the keen eye of the Société de développement économique de la Colombie-Britannique (SDECB), which identifies new businesses and organizations offering French-language tourism services in the province every year, the bilingual offer is growing every day and attracting a new clientele to British Columbia from both domestic and international markets.
Immersion through travel
To give community members, tourists and future immigrants a taste for discovering British Columbia, the SDECB takes into account the expertise of its partners in the tourism industry and draws on current market trends to regularly develop itineraries and tours illustrating Francophone heritage and culture, the diversity of the various regions and its businesses, the richness of the land and the province’s most beautiful natural attractions, with a constant concern for providing them with authentic experiences.
