French Language Services Act

Map of French service areas in Ontario.[note 1] Dark blue indicates areas designated in their entirety; light blue indicates areas that include designated communities.

The French Language Services Act (French: Loi sur les services en français) (the Act) is a law in the province of Ontario, Canada which is intended to protect the rights of Franco-Ontarians, or French-speaking people, in the province.

The Act does not give the French language full official language status in the province, which has no official language defined in law but is primarily an English-speaking province in practice. The Act, however, ensures that provincial government services are offered in French in 26 designated areas across the province with significant numbers of Franco-Ontarian residents. The City of Sarnia will be the 27th in November 2024.
