And just like that, it’s July! The Canadian Parents for French National Board has a vision for a strong, equitable and resilient Network, focused on building shared leadership, supporting engaged membership and volunteers, and delivering relevant, quality programming to parents and youth learning and using French.

We wish to thank all the participants who attended the CPF National Annual General Business Meeting (AGM) and the CPF Leaders Networking Event, from July 7^th to Sunday July 10^th, 2023, for making the weekend a rich opportunity for meaningful exchanges and a concerted renewal to our common purpose. The CPF National Board recognizes the mutual trust required between CPF Branches and National for a respectful working relationship and we felt this commitment to a strong future working together!
