Since 1926, the Association canadienne-française de l'Alberta (ACFA) is the voice of all French-speaking Albertans. It is a provincial organisation that currently has thirteen local chapters. It provides political advocacy as well as a series of province-wide services in French. For example, it liaises with the various French schools and school boards to foster community leadership and cultural transmission. It also supports initiatives such as a French-language directory of services. It also connects with other community organisations that exist across the province, most notably with five sector leaders (chefs de file) in the areas of Arts and Culture, Economic Development, Health, Sports and Wellness, and Heritage and History. It also maintains important partnerships with organisations in the areas of education, immigration, youth, and early childhood.

I began my involvement with the ACFA at the local level, with the Red Deer chapter, when I was elected to the local board in 2008 and became its secretary. I helped support the activities of the local chapter, most notably the creation of the successful yearly Carnaval. I also helped provide some organisational clarity to the board.

I left the local board when I was elected in 2011 as a representative for the Central Region to the provincial Board for a four-year term. In that capacity, I participated in decision-making that influenced the organisation province-wide, but also liaised with various local chapters by representing the provincial board at local events. This brought me to Jasper, Legal, Morinville, Calgary, Lethbridge, among others. Some of the key issues the board dealt with included some high-profile dossiers such as the creation of a French college in Edmonton (I sat on the advisory board), and supporting a high-profile court case, the Cause Caron-Boutet, which, although it ended in a negative Supreme Court judgment, did raise the profile of French speakers in both Alberta and Saskatchewan.

During my tenure on the ACFA provincial board, I also participated in the creation of the Société historique francophone de l'Alberta (French Alberta Historical Society) as a separate organisation tasked with promoting French history and heritage in the province. When my term ended, in 2015, I did not run for reelection in order to devote my time to the newly-created historical society.
