For some reason I am assuming that you went to high school in NB... is that right? Or was it Truro?

This bilingual certification thingy is something I am not accustomed to hearing, but it sounds like a new trend. Almost ISO-ish.
No one had bilingual certification back in my day.
I believe some francophone schools in Ottawa have been using this as part of their marketing to draw students in. (There is a lot of competition between school boards for students in Ottawa: public, Catholic, French, English, etc.)
