Prince Edward Island's Acadian and francophone community offers a variety of programs and services to help new francophone residents settle, get involved and integrate into Prince Edward Island.
If you are English-speaking and are looking for services, please note that you must contact Immigration and Refugee Services Association PEI or Western PEI Community Navigators.
Here's a little more information on the various resources and programs available to help you in your integration process into our community.
The "Bienvenue Évangéline" project is part of the Welcoming Francophone Communities initiative, which responds to concerns and gaps expressed by Francophone minority communities during the 2015 and 2017 consultations on Francophone immigration. This initiative, proposed and funded by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), was developed using the "by and for" approach of Francophone communities. The initiative includes 14 Francophone communities with diverse profiles across the country, with the exception of Quebec. To find out more about the national project, visit this link.
Bienvenue Évangéline is based on the priorities chosen by a community advisory committee following an assessment of the region. The strategic priorities are :
1) inclusive leadership,
2) economic development, entrepreneurship and employment, and
3) welcoming public spaces.
The natural interconnectivity of these sectors provides interesting support for local leaders, employers and residents.
If you are a leader, organization or employer interested in this community project, we invite you to consult the Guide for partners and other stakeholders.

Bons Voisins is a simple concept that formalizes what people already do for each other in our community, and gives it a structure so that newcomers, who don't yet know their "Bons Voisins", can benefit from their knowledge and advice.
Bons Voisins is a network of people who help integrate newcomers into the community. This network helps create links between members of the community and newcomers.
The network operates on a "twinning" basis. Community members are matched with a newcomer to the Evangeline region.
The responsibilities of network members towards newcomers are to :
Network members can also provide a general introduction to the region, informing newcomers about best-kept secrets, unmissable opportunities and more.
The main principles of Bons Voisins are respect for others, a willingness to listen, and a desire to promote our Acadian and Francophone community, our region and our province!
To find out more about Bons Voisins or to become part of the network, either as a resident of the Evangeline region or as a newcomer, we invite you to contact the coordinator at bienvenue@cscevangeline.ca
Please note that this service is available in French only.
