Toutes les entreprises au Québec sont assujetties à la Charte de la langue française, mais les obligations varient selon la taille de l'organisation et ses activités.
Cette séance expliquera, en termes simples :
- Les exigences applicables à toutes les entreprises
- Les obligations qui s'ajoutent selon les seuils d'employés
- Les changements entrés en vigueur le 1er juin 2025
- Le déroulement d'une plainte à l'OQLF
- Les risques et coûts liés à la non-conformité
### À qui s'adresse cette séance?
- Propriétaires d'entreprise et entrepreneurs
- Travailleurs autonomes
- Gestionnaires et responsables des opérations
- Professionnels des ressources humaines
- Commerçants et détaillants
- Fournisseurs de services
Que vous comptiez quelques employés ou que votre entreprise soit en croissance, cette séance vous aidera à comprendre vos obligations actuelles et à vous préparer aux prochaines étapes.
Conférencière : Me Oumaima Mouncef, Lawyer, Avens Avocats S.A
Inscription obligatoire. Vous devez vous inscrire à l’avance à l’aide du lien d’inscription. Une confirmation de présence sur Meetup ne donne pas accès à l’atelier.
Cet atelier est offert en anglais et accessible en ligne sous forme de webinaire.*****
Every business in Quebec is subject to the Charter of the French Language, but what you actually have to do depends on your headcount, your operations, and how you interact with customers, employees and suppliers.
A four-person shop, a 30-person agency and a 120-person employer can face three very different sets of rules.
In this session, we'll walk through the obligations band by band, in plain language:
- What applies to every business
- What kicks in at each threshold
- What changes as your organization grows
- How an OQLF complaint actually unfolds
The final phase came into force on June 1, 2025, pulling thousands of small and mid-sized businesses into a regime that never touched them before. Many owners still think this is a big-company problem, or assume that if they have always operated in Quebec without an issue, they must already be compliant.
Beyond fines that escalate with each offence, non-compliance can cost you in other ways, from having to make changes under pressure to dealing with an OQLF order when there is little room to plan or negotiate.
Handled early, compliance is administrative. Handled under an OQLF order, it can be expensive.
### Who Should Attend?
This session is designed for:
- Business owners and entrepreneurs operating in Quebec
- Self-employed professionals who provide services or do business with Quebec clients
- Managers and operators responsible for day-to-day business operations
- HR managers and teams dealing with workplace communications, policies and employee requirements
- Retailers and businesses responsible for signage, packaging and product labelling
- Service providers using standard-form contracts, customer documents or other business communications
Whether you have a handful of employees or are approaching one of the larger thresholds, the goal is to help you understand where your business stands, what obligations apply to you now, and what may change as you grow.
