Conseil scolaire catholique Franco-Nord unveils new brand image and Strategic Plan 2024-2028

Conseil scolaire catholique Franco-Nord (CSCFN) is proud to unveil its new brand image embodying its mission, vision, values, and directions, as outlined in its new strategic plan, which sets objectives and guides actions for the next five years.

The transformation of CSCFN's brand image is consistent with the strategic plan, conveying its vision, values and identity to the educational community and society as a whole. It is the result of numerous consultations with students, parents, and staff on various projects. The feedback received contributed to our reflections and guided us in the creation of this visual identity, which captures the essence of our community.

"Our refreshed, welcoming, dynamic and accessible image is faithful to our mission of offering French-language Catholic education, and to our regional identity," declares Mr. Serge Levac, Director of Education. "It is simple, easy to understand, adaptable and modern. It respects our rich heritage and promotes the education of our youth."

New Colours 

The colour blue offers a violet hue; blue is inspired by the region's waterways. Violet is a liturgical colour that can also evoke creativity and reflection. The colour inspires confidence, professionalism and a balance between tradition and innovation. In addition to adding a nice touch of contrast, green is a reminder of the colours of Ontario's Francophonie. 

New Logo 

The logo's structure communicates hope and commitment to Catholic education. The curved stem at the bottom of the symbol guides the eye towards the name. It also brings a circular fluidity to the design that gives us a sense of unity, openness, trust, strength, and growth. The modern typography ensures legibility and projects an accessible image. 

The graphic elements recall both flames or leaves and flags, symbolizing the Holy Spirit, the life and vitality of our Franco-Ontarian community, and the sense of movement and progress. 

The arrow, acting as the hyphen, adds an element symbolizing the North and creates an upward movement signifying growth. The upward movement suggested by the typography and graphic forms symbolizes the quest for spiritual and intellectual growth, a core aspiration of Catholic education.

New Slogan 

Growing means changing, transforming, moving, discovering, learning. The slogan "Faire grandir le monde" (loosely translates to "Growing the World") encompasses our commitment to educate, inspire and empower Franco-Nord students to become responsible citizens, believers who live their faith, enlightened leaders and active, contributing members of society. 

Conseil scolaire catholique Franco-Nord's school board trustees are delighted to share the fruits of many reflections and consultations that have shaped the renewal of the Strategic Plan, defining our orientations and our commitment to creating an educational environment that is dynamic, inclusive, and conducive to the professional and personal growth of each individual.  

"Our new vision is a call to action and a commitment to a better future for our students, our community, and the world. It articulates our collective aspiration to have a positive impact on the world around us", testifies Mr. Ronald Demers, CSCFN Chair. "Our new mission is our commitment to educate, inspire and empower our students to become responsible citizens, enlightened leaders, and active members of society."
