Welcome

(Version française à venir bientôt)

The Association fransaskoise de Zénon Park (AFZP) has been serving the French-speaking community of Zenon Park – and region – for nearly forty years. The AFZP’s mission is to ensure the vitality of the local French community and to promote its development. This centennial community was founded in 1910 by French Canadian and Franco-American pioneers who came to Saskatchewan looking for a better future for their families. It is their perseverance, their resourcefulness, and their Franco-Catholic values that ​​ laid the foundation of this inspiring agricultural community.

Our ancestors would be proud to see that Zenon Park is still today a vibrant bilingual community. We are proud of Zenon Park’s French history and cultural diversity, proud to belong to Saskatchewan’s Fransaskois community. We cordially invite all of you to come say “bonjour” and discover for yourselves what makes this French town so friendly!

Our NEW Website!

A TEAM EFFORT

We wish to thank Michel Marchildon and the team at Marchildon Media for all the amazing work they’ve done to build this new website. We feel that this website gives a clear and contemporary picture of Zenon Park’s French community. We are glad that the online community – whether in or around ZP or elsewhere in the world – will be able to discover so many aspects of our community’s history and culture. This website took several months to build. A plan had to be made, a design chosen, pictures found, research done, texts written and translated. We would like to acknowledge the help and support of AFZP’s Director Danièle Lebel, the AFZP board members, especially board president Gisèle Yarbrough as well as CÉCS economic development advisor, Marguerite Tkachuk. We would also like to acknowledge Heritage Canada for its financial support in this endeavour.

If ever any of you wish to send us ideas on how we could improve the site, please write to us at the address below. Again, thank-you to all who made this project possible. Stay tuned because we are presently working on a few new surprises we hope to share with you in the near future. Till then, we invite you to pour yourself a coffee and take the time to DISCOVER our new website!
