Welcome to the Centre Culturel Francophone de l'Okanagan!
The Centre Culturel Francophone de l’Okanagan (CCFO) is a non-profit organization that promotes the understanding and appreciation of French
language and Francophone cultures amongst all residents of the Okanagan region.
Even though we are located in a beautiful deconsecrated church, the CCFO is a non-religious organization where everyone is welcome!
Come say Bonjour, join our classes and workshops, attend our events and festivals, or visit our library to borrow a book!
