The Third Congress on the French Language in Canada (French: ''Troisième Congrès de la langue française au Canada'') was held in Quebec City, Montreal and Saint-Hyacinthe, from June 18 to June 26, 1952. The theme of this third congress was "Let us preserve our cultural heritage" (''Conservons notre héritage culturel''). == Organization == The third Congress on the French Language in Canada occurred only 15 years after the second one held in 1937. The year 1952 corresponded to the 50th anniversary of foundation of the Société du parler français au Canada (SPFC), as well as the centenary of Université Laval. Contrary to the congresses of 1912 and 1937, that of 1952 was organized by the ''Comité permanent de la survivance française en Amérique'' (CPSFA) and not directly by the SPFC. The theme of this third congress was "Let us preserve our cultural heritage" (''Conservons notre héritage culturel''). The organizing committee, already at work in September 1951, was presided by abbot Adrien Verrette, president of the CPSFA.〔The other members appointed to the organizing committee were: as vice-presidents: the president of the Fédération des Sociétés Saint-Jean-Baptiste du Québec, Dr S. A. Grondin, the director of the SSJB of Montreal, Dr Alcide Martel, the president of the SSJB of Quebec City Henri Lallier; As secretary: the secretary of the CPSFA abbot Paul-Émile Gosselin, and his deputies the director of the SSJB of Quebec City Lucien Gagné, the secretary of the Association canadienne des éducateurs de langue française Miss Cécile Rouleau, the director of the Société historique de Québec Madam Reine Malouin, the secretary of the Institut canadien de Québec Alphonse Desilets; As treasurer: the treasurer of the CPSFA Henri Boisvert and his deputy the vice-president of the Société historique de Québec Sylvio Dumas.〕〔''Troisième congrès de la langue française, 18-25 juin 1952 : compte-rendu'', p. 18-19〕 Members of the committee shared tasks in committees on finances, propaganda, reception, study, public demonstration and ladies. 26 regional committees were created.〔Gaspé, Rimouski, Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pocatière, Moncton, Campbellton, Edmunstun, Nouvelle-Écosse, Île-du-Prince-Édouard, Colombie-Britannique, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Montréal, Saint-Jérôme, Valleyfield, Saint-Hyacinte, Sherbrooke, Joliette, Saint-Jean, Trois-Rivières, Nicolet, Chicoutimi, Nouvelle-Angleterre, Québec〕〔''Troisième congrès de la langue française, 18-25 juin 1952 : compte-rendu'', p. 20-23〕 The organizing committee wished to amass $75,000 CAD through a subscription, but instead amassed $88,312.67 CAD. This sum, added to a government grant was enough to ensure the production of the event. As with the preceding congress, an honorary committee was instituted, to which the principal officers of the State and Church were appointed.〔''Troisième congrès de la langue française, 18-25 juin 1952 : compte-rendu'', p. 17〕 Lieutenant-governor Gaspard Fauteux and the archbishop of Quebec Mgr Maurice Roy were designated as patrons of the congress.
