ACCENT is a joint project between the Association canadienne-française de l’Alberta (ACFA) and Canadian Parents for French (CPF) Alberta Branch. A growing number of young Albertans are learning French and the demand for options to support the curriculum with French programming is increasing accordingly. ACCENT’s objective is to satisfy this growing demand by offering schools and parents a rich variety of opportunities available in or outside the school setting.
