Welcome to CPF PEI!
Canadian Parents for French – Prince Edward Island, is a registered charitable organization. It is one of eleven provincial Branches of our national organization, Canadian Parents for French. We also have local Chapters across the province that carry out activities that support French as a second language (FSL) learning both inside and outside of the classroom.

CPF Background
CPF was founded in 1977 by a group of parents who wanted to ensure that children would have the opportunity to become bilingual in the Canadian school system. CPF has evolved into a proactive national network with eleven Branch offices and some 170 Chapters in communities coast to coast.Each CPF PEI Branch and Chapter is run by a volunteer Board of Directors. CPF National, Branches and Chapters are made up of mainly English speaking volunteers who have taken a membership in the organization to show their support in CPF. These volunteers assist in the planning and implementation of programs and activities. It is only through the interest and support of volunteers that we are able to continue to offer programs to Island students. We thank you! Want to know more about the history of CPF PEI?
