The Canadian Francophone Games Moncton-Dieppe 2017
The Canadian Francophone Games are among the largest gatherings of Canada’s French-speaking youth.
In addition to encouraging hundreds of young people to exercise their talents in three sectors (Arts,
Leadership, and Sports), the CFGames showcase cultural pride, self-confidence, and leadership abilities,
all in a context of friendly competition.
Since the first Games in 1999, in Memramcook, New Brunswick, the CFGames are held every three years
and will be back in New-Brunswick in 2017 in the cities of Moncton and Dieppe.
From July 11th to July 15th, a group of 1000 participants and more than 750 volunteers are expected for the
7th edition of the Games. This event will give the chance to the young participants (13-18 years old) to
express their talents, to develop their knowledge, their competences, and to be an ambassador for their
province or territory. As the Organizing Committee, we are putting everything together to offer a unique
opportunity, rich in emotions and exchanges, for our big francophone family.
We are proud to entrust our community with the mission to convey a positive and remarkable image of our
youth and of our culture, in New Brunswick, as well as in the rest of Canada, in the context of a quality and
renown event.
Since the first edition, no less than 20 000 participants have been involved in the Games at different levels,
meaning: formidable encounters, an exciting francophone experience and a schedule rich in festivities.
The Canadian Francophone Games are an initiative of the FJCF (French Canadian Youth Federation), and
are partly financed by the Government of Canada’s Department of Canadian Heritage.

Our objectives as the Organizing Committee
1.
We want the CFGames to be the best experience possible for the participants. The Games will
be theirs. We decided to have all the competitions at the Université de Moncton’s campus because
we believe that this is the most adequate place to host the Games. It is very important to us to be
able to host all of the competitions at the same location. We want the participants to be able to cheer
for their peers in all of the competitions and challenges, in all three sectors.
2.
We want the Games to be the best experience possible for the young people that will work
among the organization. We are including them at different levels of the organization process of the
Games so that they can benefit from the enriching experience that is the Canadian Francophone
Games.
3.
We want the community to feel involved; it is their games. We want large crowds to attend and
enjoy the competitions so that participants have the best experience possible. We do have quality
facilities, but our strongest force resides in the members of our community.
4.
We want the FJCF and the FJFNB to come out as the great winners of this beautiful adventure
that is the 7th Canadian Francophone Games.
5.
We want the Games to be eco-responsible. The Canadian Francophone Games represents the
perfect opportunity to encourage our community and its members to adopt better and innovative ways
toward our environment.
