Parents push for French immersion in Chetwynd schools
Local parents distribute brochures and surveys at the library and Little Lights Daycare seeking to establish a full French immersion program for kindergarten or grade 1. City officials note the district already operates an immersion program in Dawson Creek and warn recruiting French-speaking teachers and ongoing grade-by-grade staffing are challenges. Mayor Evan Langstad supports the idea, citing cultural and economic benefits, while surveys must be returned by early December with contact info for Sherry Watchorn.
