ACFA’s first Regional Cultural Committee in Peace River started its activities in 1973-1974. The regional association of Rivière-la-Paix was incorporated under ACFA’s provincial statute on July 28, 1977.

The regional branch of ACFA offers social and cultural activities to the Francopones of the region, including entertainment shows in French and family-oriented activities; it also works closely with providers of daycare, health and cultural services. The association looks to amplify the Francophone presence in various regional initiatives and to emphasize sustainable projects and activities focused on family and youth that will guarantee the community development in the long term. Through its community FM station, CKRP Radio Rivière-la-Paix, the regional ACFA is able to ensure better communication with its partners and to provide support to other Francophone associations and committees.

Having its headquarters in Falher, the association serves a wide territory including municipalities like Peace River, St. Isidore, Marie-Reine, Jean-Côté, Donnelly, Girouxville, McLennan and Tangent. Together, the region hosts about 5000 Francophones and more than 3000 Francophiles. The regional ACFA manages an employment resource centre, a community radio station, and the Community Access Program (CAP/PAC).
