FREDERICTON (GNB) – New Brunswick applauds the decision made by the Conseil d’orientation (advisory committee) of the Comité international des Jeux de la Francophonie (international committee of the Francophonie Games) to recommend New Brunswick to host the 9th Games of La Francophonie in 2021.
A delegation from the province officially submitted Moncton and Dieppe’s bid today in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
“Our government is fully committed to this bid,” said Premier Brian Gallant. “New Brunswick’s communities also support it and have a lot of experience organizing such events. I commend the whole team that worked hard to prepare New Brunswick’s bid.”
The Conseil permanent de la Francophonie (permanent council of La Francophonie) will consider the advisory committee’s recommendation on April 7 in Paris.
