French Language Services Act

The French Language Services Act (French: Loi sur les services en français) 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 27 designated areas across the province with significant numbers of Franco-Ontarian residents.
