For more than eight decades, Western and the people of Trois-Pistoles, Quebec, have been engaged in a partnership in language education. The Trois-Pistoles French Immersion School brings a range of degree-credit language courses, from elementary to advanced, and a wide range of social and cultural events to its participants. Recently, Trois-Pistoles Mayor Jean-Pierre Rioux, left, travelled to London to meet up with Western President Amit Chakma to discuss the immersion program and check out the university campus.
