The 100th anniversary of the ACFC is being celebrated with a new exhibition of photographic works at the Chapel Gallery.

ACFC is the acronym for Association Culturelle Franco-Canadienne. In 1998 it was changed to L'Association Communautaire Fransaskoise.

Claude Desnoyers has created "Ou sont passes non reve d'antan? Whither our dreams of yesteryear?" as a tribute to the first provincial francophone organization. The collection of images evokes a sense of nostalgia and remembrance of the past. This exhibition is on display in the Windows Salon for the month of March.

The Chapel Gallery will also be celebrating International Women's Day with a Women's Creativity pARTy March 11 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m..
