This short documentary chronicles the participation of Edmonton’s Chorale Saint-Jean in the festivities organized for Quebec City’s 400th anniversary. The film is interspersed with interviews with conductor Laurier Fagnan, lyricist-composer France Levasseur-Ouimet and other people involved with this talented choir. Poignant and charming, it shows that French outside Quebec doesn’t necessarily have a bleak future. Indeed, not only is Franco-Albertan culture surviving, but it is also enriching our country’s heritage. In French with English subtitles. This documentary was made as part of the Tremplin program, with the collaboration of Radio-Canada.

Occasion de discuter des menaces d'assimilation de minorités culturelles. Pourquoi les Franco-Albertains veulent-ils s'exprimer par ce chœur? Pensez-vous qu'ils ont peur de disparaître? Pourquoi était-il si important pour eux de venir chanter au Québec? Demandez aux élèves de proposer des moyens que pourraient utiliser des communautés minoritaires pour préserver leur identité.
