bstract: The purpose of this ethnographic comparative study of the Jeux de l’Acadie, the Jeuxfranco-ontariens and the Alberta Francophone Games is to explore further how minority youthidentities are produced and manifested in Canada’s francophonies. Through interviews, drawingsand questionnaires adolescents express and give meaning to their francophoneness in the contextof the Games. The analysis reveals that francophone identities are reproduced as a component ofhybrid identities. This hybridity refers to youths’ integration of once distinct francophone andanglophone cultural identities into a “hybrid” identity. This paper examines the differentconfigurations of these hybrid cultural and linguistic identities, where some youths spontaneouslyand mostly live in French but insist on their hybridity, while other youths perform predominantlyas anglophones but remain attached to their francophoneness. Indeed, Acadian youths primarilyperform a singular francophone identity while Franco-Ontarian and Alberta francophone youthsmanifest a rather complex and asymmetrical mélange of francophoneness and anglophonenes
