By 1910 approximatly 10% of Ontarios population was French. Most of them located in the Norhern and easturn regions of Ontario, where they had moved across the border from Quebec. Furthermore, as settling in Ontario they wanted to make schools to educate their childern on the French language and the french community.
Regulation 17 was a regulation of the Ontario government, disigned to shut down french Language schools and make English the official language at a time when Francophones (Which ment a person who spoke Fench). Were moving into easturn Ontario. They wanted to shut down the schools since it would have been ‘’ Un - British’’ to teach anything other then English.
The French community was outraged by the regulation.
