in Yellowknife under the name &#8220;L&#8217;Association culturelle franco-t\u00e9noise&#8221; (ACFT). At the time, the priority for members was to install an antenna to receive Radio-Canada. Over time, Francophones in other regions of the Northwest Territories began to take an interest in Yellowknife&#8217;s activities, and the ACFT gradually extended its services throughout the Territories. On the initiative of ACFT members, a new association is created to serve the capital more specifically. This new association was incorporated on September 18, 1985 under the name &#8220;L&#8217;Association franco-culturelle de Yellowknife&#8221; (AFCY).<\/p>\n<p>From then on, the ACFT concentrated on its territorial mandate and, in 1988, took the name &#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federationfrancotenoise.com\/\">F\u00e9d\u00e9ration franco-t\u00e9noise<\/a> &#8221; (FFT). At the time, AFCY&#8217;s role was to organize socio-cultural activities in French in Yellowknife. This mandate will gradually be extended to other types of initiatives, both community-based and cultural. In the late 1980s, the Association played an active role in setting up \u00c9cole Allain-St-Cyr, Yellowknife&#8217;s French-language school, and in forming a parents&#8217; committee. This committee broke away from AFCY in 1989 to become the &#8220;Association des parents francophones de Yellowknife&#8221;. AFCY organizes several shows, sets up an amateur theater troupe and, in 1994, inaugurates a lending counter offering books, records and videocassettes in French.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2004caa elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2004caa\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;_id&quot;:&quot;80a89d0&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_tablet&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_mobile&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_speed&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;%&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:50,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_type&quot;:&quot;scroll&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_direction&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_fx_direction&quot;:null,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_z_index&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_animation_prop&quot;:&quot;transform&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_on&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;]}]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0cf1c77\" data-id=\"0cf1c77\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-efa2b74 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"efa2b74\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Over the years, the Association has developed several important projects, including CIVR Radio Ta\u00efga, the NWT&#8217;s only French-language community radio station. Since September 2001, the Yellowknife community has been able to enjoy continuous programming in French. In 2005, AFCY celebrated 20 years of incorporation. A dinner-show featuring the Alberta band &#8220;Les fistons&#8221; drew over 200 people, including some of the original members who had travelled from across the country for the occasion. CIVR Radio Ta\u00efga emancipated itself from AFCY in 2010 and gradually drew closer to the newspaper l&#8217;Aquilon, formally joining forces in 2019 under the name <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotaiga.com\/\">M\u00e9dias T\u00e9nois<\/a>. In 2020, AFCY celebrated 35 years of incorporation. It is now looking to the future with a renewed team and ambition.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our mandate Since 1985, the Association franco-culturelle de Yellowknife has proudly held the title of ambassador of francophone culture within the city of Yellowknife.
