Later, they created new structures to share common interests. In the early 1940s, Francophones in B.C. decided to reach out to the governments of Canada, British Columbia and Quebec to gain recognition for their contributions to building their province. The Club canadien-fran\u00e7ais de la Colombie-Britannique suggested establishing an association of the province\u2019s Francophone circles, and in 1945, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ffcb.ca\/about-the-ffcb\/\">F\u00e9d\u00e9ration des francophones de la Colombie-Britannique<\/a> (FFCB) was formed.
