Francis Giguère
Francis Giguère came to Yellowknife determined to get involved in the North. He brings his energy, creativity and community experience to the NWT’s Francophone community.
Formerly a senior coordinator at Collège nordique francophone, he knows the local issues and the strength of Francophone culture well. As Executive Director of the AFCY, he aims to open up culture, expand programming for Francophiles and build strong connections across the community, including with First Nations and newcomers.
Passionate about life in the North, he is delighted to continue helping Francophone culture thrive in Yellowknife.
Nikola Petkovic
Nikola, originally from Sherbrooke, Quebec, and a member of the local Serbian community, is passionate about community work and the preservation of historical heritage. With ten years of experience working with youth in the fields of sports and education, he is delighted to continue his involvement with French-speaking Canadian youth and the promotion of Francophone culture through the AFCY.
An avid fan of downhill skiing, coffee and photography, he fully embraces his love for winter and the Canadian cold.
