CPF MAGAZINE cpf programming Our Legacy A Video of How CPF Started Canadian Parents for French was founded as a volunteer-based advocacy association in 1977, when Keith Spicer, Canada’s first Commissioner of Official Languages, brought together 30 parents from across Canada who were encountering roadblocks in their efforts to improve French as a second language (FSL) teaching in their local schools. A few months later Canadian Parents for French was formed. 40 years later, a group of longtime CPF members – former presidents, staff, and dedicated volunteers – have come together to recount the story of CPF’s early days, using stories from the past to inspire current CPF volunteers. A first video was created entitled Canadian Parents for French: Our Legacy. The video features stories from: Merrill Swain, Professor Emerita of Second-Language Education at the University of Toronto; Pat Webster, professional speaker and artist; and Mary Lou Morrison, councillor, about the views of FSL education in Canada at that time and how the conference hosted by Keith Spicer gave the necessary momentum to start Canadian Parents for French. The video, which can be viewed on CPF National’s YouTube page, (https://youtu.be/AUFqDr2RSoI) was launched at the CPF 2016 National Conference as part of the kickoff of CPF’s 40th anniversary celebrations. CPF National has launched the “$40 for 40 years of CPF Success” donor campaign to extend this project into a series of videos using stories, anecdotes, and examples from the past to illustrate the evidence-based, collaborative, patient, persistent approach to advocacy that has served the organization so well – despite strong opposition, and even hostility – for 40 years. Grant funding has also been requested to support this project initiative going forward.
