1892-1945; born in Ottawa; died in Montreal.
Grand-daughter of Michel Desloges, an 1837 patriot from
Saint-Eustache who came to Bytown in mid-nineteeth century.
Along with her sister Béatrice, also a teacher, Diane
Desloges successfully opposed Regulation 17.
Regulation 17, adopted in 1912, severely restricted the use
of French in Ontario schools. It is considered one of the major upheavals in
French Ontario and a turning point in the Franco-Ontarian identity. The
regulation led to one of the greatest educational crises in French Ontario, and
Guigues elementary school, which is located in downtown Ottawa.
Regulation 17 was modified in 1927 to allow limited teaching
in French but was only withdrawn in its entirety in 1944.
The RdÉÉ created a prize bearing her name. The
Diane-Desloges prize is awarded in the category "Enseignement, éducation et soins de santé" to a successful franco-ontarian business.
