Fédération culturelle canadienne française (FCCF)

Based in Ottawa, the Fédération culturelle canadienne-française (FCCF) has been promoting and defending the place of arts and culture in French-speaking Canada and Acadia for over 40 years. As the spokesperson for its 21 provincial, territorial, and national members, the FCCF represents their interests both disciplinarily and regionally. The arts and culture sector in French-speaking Canada and Acadia, not including Quebec, employs more than 36,100 people and generates more than $5.63 billion annually, making it an important pillar of the socio-economic development of our communities. The Federation is proud to have been the sole political voice for arts and culture in the Canadian and Acadian Francophonie since 1977, the year it was founded in Winnipeg.
