A Consulate of France in Calgary [ fr ]

The Consulate of France in Calgary was created by the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs by a decree of August 5, 2010.

In addition to consular protection for French nationals in difficulty, either residing in or visiting Canada, the mission of the Consulate of France in Calgary will be dedicated to economic, political, cultural and scientific activities.
