Overview
Kelly Burke is the French Language Services Commissioner of Ontario. She heads our Office’s French Language Services Unit, with a mandate to protect the rights of Ontario's Francophones under the French Language Services Act.
Her work in promoting language rights for Franco-Ontarians to government and stakeholders, and the recommendations in her first two Annual Reports, emphasize the need for adequate planning for the provision of public services in French, to ensure they are truly equivalent to those offered to the general population, and without delay.
