Just in case anyone suggests you are the exception that proves some kind of rule, I also learned my French in Kitchener - and it wasn't by meiosis (quite like that word). Just took all the available high school French classes.
My wife did the same thing in Toronto, and she went a good 15 years without using it, before working to get it back up to the level needed. As I said, it's a job skill like any other. And not just in the public service.
