Association of Colleges and Universities of the Canadian Francophonie
April 12, 2024
Association of Colleges and Universities of the Canadian Francophonie (known by the acronym ACUFC for its French name, "Association des collèges et universités de la francophonie canadienne") promotes community college and university education in minority francophone communities in Canada, through cooperation between its member institutions. In the community it serves, each member institution plays a crucial role in cultural, social and economic development. The association represents its member institutions on topics of mutual interest before the Government of Canada, national and international organizations. Up until 1 April 2015, the organisation was known as the Association of Universities of the Canadian Francophonie, or in French, Association des universités de la francophonie canadienne (AUFC), when it did not include community college members.
Association of Colleges and Universities of the Canadian Francophonie
Association des collèges et universités de la francophonie canadienne
The association is made up of the following 22 institutions which promote community college and university education within minority francophone communities in Canada:[1]
Most of these institutions were founded by members of the Catholic clergy to serve isolated francophone communities. While some institutions maintain religious missions, others have assumed specialized vocations such as the Royal Military College of Canada. [1]
While some member institutions only offer study programs in French, others are bilingual (English/French). Some of the institutions are located in small francophone communities while others are located in heavily populated francophone areas.
The office of the association is located at: 260, rue Dalhousie, bureau 400 Ottawa, Ontario K1N 7E4 [1]
