Rogersville's anglophone newcomers surprised by village life in French


But in the small Northumberland County village of Rogersville, a different issue has emerged — minority language services. French is the mother tongue of over 91 per cent of the region's residents, according to the 2016 census. "We often hear that when they call the office," village manager Angèle McCaie said in a French-language interview with Radio-Canada. Angèle McCaie, general manager for the Village of Rogersville, said there have been some complaints about unilingual French communications from the municipality. The Rogersville village website and Facebook page are also in French only.
