Message from the Governor General of Canada on Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day 2025 Français
OTTAWA, ON, June 24, 2025 /CNW/ - On June 24, we come together to celebrate Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day, a proud and deeply rooted tradition that honours the vitality, unity and cultural richness of French-speaking communities across Quebec and Canada.
The origins of this cherished celebration date back thousands of years and have evolved into the parades, bonfires and community gatherings we know today.
Whether you're celebrating in La Belle Province, where it is known as la Fête nationale, or anywhere else in the country, at a music venue, having a backyard party or simply enjoying time with loved ones, it is also an occasion to reflect on the vibrant Francophone culture that continues to shape our collective identity.
Happy Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day!

The Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages, wishes Francophones and Francophiles in Canada an excellent Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day OTTAWA, ON, June 24, 2025 /CNW/ - On June 24, millions of Canadians celebrate Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day—a time of pride, culture and celebration for all those who share a love for the French language. The Francophonie is at the heart of our history and continues to shape our country's identity. Every year in June, this holiday carries a special meaning for many of us.

Today is therefore an opportunity to celebrate the beauty, richness and energy of this Canadian Francophonie, strengthened by 10 million French speakers from coast to coast to coast. I invite you to take part in the festivities in your region and enjoy the music, the traditions and this vibrant language that allows our culture and our national identity to shine.
