NAFA Expanding into French speaking Quebec, Canada
At the November 30, 2007 meeting of the NAFA Board of Directors held in Omaha, Nebraska, The NAFA Executive Director, Sam Ford reported that NAFA was continuing to grow and expand the presence of flyball in areas where it did not exist before. The first NAFA flyball tournament held in the newly created Region 20 was a huge success.
Montreal, Quebec and the surrounding area contains a large French speaking population. Quebec laws requires that items be available in French as well as English. There is a huge involvement in dog sports in the French-Canadian sector and it appears that NAFA needs to translate flyball information into French. At present, the NAFA brochure is available both in English and in French. Awards may soon follow. Translating the NAFA Rules of Racing represent a large financial commitment. NAFA is committed to supporting flyball in Quebec therefore, this exenditure will be necessary.
