Paul-Émile Rochon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Doctor Paul-Émile Rochon was born in Saint-Eustache, Québec on October 8, 1878. He received his degree in medicine magna cum laude in 1900, and lived in Clarence Creek, Ontario, from 1903 to 1946. He was president of ACFEO, a lobbying organization for Franco-Ontarians from 1934 to 1938, and passed away in Ottawa in 1966.
Rochon proposed to change the name of ACFÉO to AFO (Association Franco Ontarienne). It was not accepted at the time. It is only recently that the association became known as the AFO (Assemblée de la Francophonie de l'Ontario.)
