Canadian Parents for French (CPF) is the national network of volunteers which values French as an integral part of Canada and which is dedicated to the promotion and creation of French second language learning opportunities for young Canadians. Canadian Parents for French was founded in 1977 by a group of 35 parents who wanted all young Canadians to have the opportunity to learn and use the French language. CPF, now a registered charity, includes thousands of individuals, families, and organizations as members. |
Across Canada:
- CPF works with the federal government and national organizations involved in education to create an environment supportive of French second language education.
- CPF provides volunteer training and development
- CPF provides information and resources about French second language learning.
In your province or territory:
- CPF works with your Ministry or Department of Education, teacher organizations, and other groups concerned about education to ensure that there is support for French second language education.

In your community:
