Who we are
For more than 100 years, the Assemblée communautaire fransaskoise (ACF) has advocated for the French fact in Saskatchewan.
The role and influence of the ACF are to pursue the continued development of the Fransaskois community and to defend its linguistic interests. Thanks to the ACF's impact and actions, Francophones in the province of Saskatchewan have access to essential services that help ensure their survival as a linguistic community.
The stories on this site offer some testimonials from people who are fully invested in the development of the Francophonie in Saskatchewan.
