Founded in 1983, the ACFO of London-Sarnia is primarily a regional development agency to mobilize resources and generate initiatives that will enable the regional Francophone community to flourish. The overall objectives of the organization are to defend the interests of francophone in the region; to achieve social, medical, recreational, cultural and economic services in French; to encourage the consolidation of francophone to support the claims of various Francophone groups, and to facilitate consultation of its members.
