A Chapter is a local watchdog, in effect, the voice for parents in the school district. The provincial organization can’t talk to the school board on your behalf; however, we can support members in the district who care enough about quality French Second Language education to approach the school trustees on issues that affect their children.

CPF chapters ...

  • bring members together to work to improve opportunities for children to learn French, both inside and outside of the classroom
  • organize extracurricular activities like video nights, family fun nights, French field trips to theatre and museums
  • receive annual grants from CPF to provide services to their members
  • network with other Chapters to share information about advocacy and fundraising initiatives
  • are entitled to send delegates to all workshops organized by CPF-BC & Yukon
  • are supported by advice and training provided by the provincial and national organization for local projects and activities


By joining Canadian Parents for French, you will receive Provincial/National newsletters, be kept aware of and involved in your child's activities and have a multitude of resources available to you!
