Membership in CPF

Canadian Parents for French 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.

Membership in CPF  is open to any adult who supports the goals of the association. You needn't be a parent — we include many educators, grandparents, French-second-language program graduates, researchers, and others.

Associations and organizations can also join CPF as affiliate, non-voting members.

Membership fee:  $25 for one year or just $60 for three years

65% of your fee is returned to your local chapter, where one exists, and 25% goes to the work of CPF Alberta. The remaining 10% helps to cover processing costs.
