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 franais, 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.
