The University of Ottawa, the Faculty of Social Sciences and the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research on Citizenship and Minorities (CIRCEM), in collaboration with Library and Archives Canada, invite you to the launch of a lecture series in honour of the late Mauril Bélanger.

  • Keynote Speaker: Anne Gilbert, Professor Emeritus, Geography, and co-founder of CIRCEM, University of Ottawa
  • Commentators: Jean-Pierre Corbeil, Assistant Director, Centre for Ethnocultural, Language and Immigration Statistics, Statistics Canada, and Brian Ray, Vice-Dean of Research, Faculty of Arts, and Associate Professor, Geography, University of Ottawa

A committed parliamentarian and a great defender of democratic values and the French fact in Canada, Mauril Bélanger spent his career supporting minority groups and promoting the Franco-Ontarian community. Led by CIRCEM and thanks to the generous financial contribution of the Fondation Famille Bertrand, these lectures will focus on the major issues that Mr. Bélanger advocated for during his political career. For more information, visit our website.
