Other than teaching French, perhaps working at a call centre, or in a bilingual federal government job (where you might or might not ever use French), I'd be hard pressed to think of a situation in which one could use French on a daily basis outside a school/family/church setting in the Region of Waterloo. I suppose a number of local firms have some French language and French translation abilities that aren't farmed out to more francophone areas of the country. I believe I've once or twice seen local job ads looking for French-speaking sales or customer service reps. Do the insurance companies perhaps have French language employees working out of offices in the Region?
I don't know whether the francophone community is growing, but it's certainly not unusual anymore to hear people speaking French in the street or at the supermarket, for example.
