Résistances, Mobilisations Et Contestations - L'Association Canadienne-Française de l'Ontario (1910-2006)

L'Association canadienne-française de l'Ontario (ACFO) a été le principal porte-parole politique de la collectivité franco-ontarienne au XXe siècle.

Cette analyse historique en six chapitres chronologiques va de la fondation de l'Association canadienne-française d'éducation d'Ontario (ACFEO) en 1910 jusqu'à sa disparition et son absorption par l'Assemblée de la francophonie de l'Ontario en 2006.

De 1910 à 1927, l'Association joue un rôle déterminant dans la crise du Règlement 17, qui interdit l'enseignement en français dans les écoles de la province. De 1927-1969, l'ACFEO contribue activement à l'avancement de la cause des écoles françaises (ou « bilingues ») de l'Ontario. Entre 1969 et 1982, l'Association, devenue l'« ACFO », travaille aux progrès institutionnels de la collectivité franco-ontarienne, tout en essuyant des critiques, voire des dénonciations formulées par plusieurs groupes de militants animés par les idéologies contre-culturelle et participative alors en vogue.

Entre 1982 et 1992, l'ACFO se redéfinit pour s'adapter à la transformation de l'espace politique de l'Ontario français, ainsi qu'à la fragmentation de son champ idéologique sous l'impulsion de plus en plus irrépressible des régionalismes identitaires et de l'arrivée de groupes ethnoculturels issus de l'immigration francophone. Les années 1992-2006 sont les dernières de l'ACFO, qui ne peut se relever de la crise de légitimité qui la mine depuis la fin des années 1970.

Une fenêtre privilégiée sur les efforts de construction identitaire et politique de la francophonie ontarienne au XXe siècle.

The French-Canadian Association of Ontario (ACFO) has been the main political voice person for the Franco-Ontarian community in the 20th century.

The first chapter (1910-1927) examines the first years of the Association and delves into the pivotal role it played during the debate surrounding Regulation 17, which was designed to prevent French-language schooling in the province. From 1927-1969, the ACFEO actively contributed to the advancement of French (or "bilingual") schools in Ontario. From 1969-1982, the Association, now called ACFO, played a key role in the institutional progress of the Franco-Ontarian community, amidst much criticism and accusations made by militants inspired by the counter-culture and participative ideologies of the day.

From 1982 to 1992, ACFO redefined itself in order to adapt to an evolving political situation in l'Ontario français, as well as to the fragmentation of its ideology as regional identities took shape to a new ethnocultural reality in the wake of francophone immigration. The years from 1992 to 2006 were the Association's last, as it became unable to overcome a legitimacy crisis that had been undermining it since the end of the 1970s.

A glimpse into the efforts that went into the identity and political construct of the Ontarian Francophonie throughout the 20th century.
