Canada 2020 Youth Exchange, EDMONTON, AB – VAL D’OR, QC, a collaboration with YMCA Canada.

AJFAS, based on its experience in this program, was chosen to match the youth of Edmonton, Alberta with those of Val d’Or, Quebec.

Since 2000 to date, AJFAS has offered young Francophones in Alberta the opportunity to discover a new community across Canada, to deepen their heritage knowledge, to break down social barriers, to sensitize them to a new community. and provide them with a learning and leadership experience that promotes the acquisition of communication and teamwork skills they will enjoy throughout their lives. Our organization has already been paired with groups of the following cities across Canada: Drummondville (Quebec), Victoriaville (Quebec), Montreal (Quebec), Montreal (Quebec), Anjou (Quebec), Toronto (Ontario), Pessamit Reserve (Betsiamites) – Quebec, Maniwaki, Quebec, Kugluktuk, Nunavut and Montreal, Quebec.
