Semaine de la Francophonie

Nous sommes tous allés à l'hôtel de ville pour être une partie de la levée du drapeau franco-albertain. Toutes les classes d'immersion en français à Beaumont étaient présents ainsi que plusieurs dignitaires locaux et provinciaux. Puis nous sommes allés à JE Lapointe pour un concert de rock français de les 10e12e de BCHS.

We all went to the Town Hall to be a part of the raising of the Franco-Albertan flag.  All of the French Immersion classes in Beaumont were present as well as several local and provincial dignitaries.  Then we went to JE Lapointe for a French rock concert from les 10e12e from BCHS.

TRIVIA!!  A hypercolour pencil for the THREE people who can tell me what the following parts of the Franco-Albertan flag stand for.  Please only answer for one because you can only win once.
The blue background and Rose
The white background and felur-de-lis
The diagonal stripes
