Threatened with disappearance, the Prescott-Russell Francophonie Banquet has been at a standstill since 2023 due to costs considered too high.
ACFO Prescott-Russell, which is responsible for the event, mentions a deficit of $3,000 during the last edition and is exploring options such as a lighter formula. An advisory committee is considering the future of the banquet, which could be postponed to 2027 or redesigned. Created in 1999, this flagship event celebrates Francophone commitment and has long brought together hundreds of guests in the region.
