He was appointed to the Senate of Canada in October 2023. Senator Aucoin will be speaking on the challenges Chéticamp’s French minority community is facing, language retention and erosion, access to French-language services, cultural preservation, and the Court challenges in obtaining a protected electoral district. He will also talk about his role in the Senate of Canada and his efforts toward protecting the Acadian minority in the province.
All are welcome.
