LAUNCH OF A NEW FRENCH LANGUAGE ONLINE PROGRAM ON MANAGEMENT OF NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS
Halifax, September 12, 2005 - Université Sainte-Anne and the Collège
communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick-campus de Dieppe officially announce the launch of a new
on-line program for the management of non-for-profit organizations. This program, called
"Gestion des organismes à but non-luctratif" will be offered in French and is aimed at all
managers, employees and volunteers of non-for-profit organizations in Canada. This initiative
is the result of a partnership between Université Sainte-Anne, the Collège communautaire du
Nouveau-Brunswick-campus de Dieppe, the Fédération acadienne de la Nouvelle-Écosse et la Société
éducative de l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard.
This seven course program aims to help the people involved in a non-for-profit organization
(managers, employees and volunteers) to be more efficient in various tasks and help them to
manage responsibilities in a more productive manner. An attestation of post-secondary studies
in management of non-for-profit organizations will be jointly awarded by Université Sainte-Anne
and the Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick-campus de Dieppe to all students who complete
the program's requirements.
"This program, which is still in its early stages, will be very successful among many
francophone volunteer organizations in the Atlantic region. There is no doubt in my mind of
its value and the positive effects on all volunteer organizations that will benefit from it,"
said the Honourable David L. Emerson, Minister of Industry.
"Université Sainte-Anne's contribution to the realisation of this program demonstrates our
engagement to participate in the development and enrichment of Acadian and Francophone
communities in the Atlantic regions and in Canada", declares Allister Surette, Vice-president,
development and partnerships at Université Sainte-Anne."
"The Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick - campus de Dieppe is pleased to have lent its
expertise in the field of E-learning and to offer this program jointly with Université Sainte-Anne",
states Claude Allard, principal of the Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick - campus de
Dieppe. "Web-based training enables us to reach Acadian and French populations that are often
geographically dispersed.", adds Mr. Allard.
Seven proposed courses are available and may be taken as a whole program or independently from
one another, with or without an accompanying tutor. The address of the Internet site is:

This project has been made possible by financial contribution by through Industry Canada's
Francommunautés virtuelles program, as well as Canada Heritage's Canadian Culture Online program.
