AFO, or Assemblée de la francophonie de l'Ontario (French pronunciation: [asɑ̃ble də la fʁɑ̃kɔfɔni də lɔ̃taʁjo], Francophone Assembly of Ontario) is a Canadian organization which coordinates the political and cultural activities of the Franco-Ontarian community.
The organization was created in 1910 as the Association canadienne-française d'Éducation de l'Ontario (ACFÉO) to lobby for French language education rights in the province.
The organization and the Franco-Ontarian community at large faced a serious early crisis when the provincial government adopted Regulation 17 in 1912, effectively banning the teaching of French in schools.
The organization continued to lobby for the improvement of French language services in the province.
As well, ACFO lobbied against the provincial government's planned closure of Ottawa's Montfort Hospital.
