ACFA Regionale de Saint-Paul is the local branch of the Association canadienne-francaise de l’Alberta, the provincial voice for French-speaking Albertans, and it has been active in the St. Paul region for close to a century. The organization works to protect linguistic rights and grow the vitality of the region’s francophone community, and it serves all francophones and francophiles in the area, not just its formal membership.
The branch runs a full calendar of programming, including a sugar shack event, the Jazz’Art festival, an intergenerational dance event pairing grandparents and grandchildren, a Christmas celebration, a summer camp, French language courses, reading and writing circles, workshops, and celebrations for Alberta’s francophone community, Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day, and Canada Day. MCSnet sponsors the internet connection at ACFA Regionale de Saint-Paul, so staff, volunteers, and anyone attending an event can get online without relying on their own data plan.
