Francophone minority communities (FMCs) in British Columbia are among the most diverse in the country. In Metro Vancouver, immigrants seem to be very present in Francophone community sites. However, our research indicates the existence of socio-racial distancing which impede community cohesion. This article is based on the results of two studies: (1) a critical ethnography on the participation of Francophone immigrants in Francophone community sites and (2) a qualitative study on community cohesion in FMCs. We offer two explanations for the existence of socio-racial distancing. On the one hand, inequalities related to the intersection of different identity markers push some ethno-racial groups to live in certain municipalities rather than others, while the activities offered by the FMC tend to be centralized in the city of Vancouver. On the other hand, when members of a Francophone community site belong predominantly to a specific ethno-racial group, the site becomes less attractive or accessible to other groups. In addition, racialized people do not seem to benefit from the same opportunities to participate in the CFSM. An intersectional approach is needed, both in our reflections to understand socio-racial distancing, and in community practices to address them and foster community cohesion.
