Hi cecsgeocache,

If not already disabled I have disabled this cache because it has been reported as possibly missing or being in need of maintenance as indicated by its low health score. By now you should have received an email from HQ indicating that your cache may need some attention. I am following up on those emails to see if the required maintenance has been completed. At this time I am asking that you, as the cache owner, make a physical check on the cache and leave a note on the cache page in regards to its status.

If you have completed the needed maintenance feel free to post an owner maintenance log and enable the cache again. I will check back in a few weeks and if there has been no response to the needed maintenance and I have not heard anything from you, I will be archiving the cache at that time.

For tips about how to perform maintenance and to learn why Geocaching HQ sends occasional geocache maintenance reminders, please see this Help Center article, https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713

Thanks

MAURICE QUENNELLE ET L’ACF – CANADA150

*PLEASE BYOP*

On February 29, 1912, Maurice Quennelle, from Wauchope, became the first president of a new association formed to defend the French language in Saskatchewan.

He was elected head of the Association catholique franco-canadienne (ACFC) (Franco-Canadian Catholic Association) at its founding convention in Duck Lake. The association's greatest efforts were directed toward the improvement of programs for the teaching of French.

There were many demands. The association recruited bilingual teachers, established French competitions, appointed school inspectors, prepared curricula, and encouraged the creation of distinct Francophone organizations. The goal of the ACFC was to bring Francophones together to promote and defend their rights.

In 1964, the ACFC changed its name to the Association culturelle franco-canadienne de la Saskatchewan and, in 1999, it became the Assemblée communautaire fransaskoise (ACF).

Le 29 février 1912, monsieur Maurice Quennelle de Wauchope devient le premier président d’une nouvelle association pour défendre la langue française en Saskatchewan.

Il est élu à la tête de l’Association catholique franco-canadienne (ACFC) lors du congrès de fondation de l’association tenu à Duck Lake. Elle investit l’essentiel de son énergie à l'amélioration des programmes d'enseignement du français.

Les revendications sont nombreuses. Elle recrute des instituteurs bilingues, établit les concours de français, nomme ses inspecteurs d'école, prépare les curriculums et favorise la création de sociétés spécialisées francophones. L’ACFC a pour but de regrouper les francophones afin de promouvoir et défendre leurs droits.

En 1964, l'ACFC change son nom pour l'Association culturelle franco-canadienne de la Saskatchewan et en 1999, elle devient l’Assemblée communautaire fransaskoise (ACF).
