We have a good example of this in Ontario. The FCCF depends on strong provincial structures. Ontario cultural centres existed before the Assemblée des centres culturels de l'Ontario. Unfortunately, the association no longer exists. It continues its work in the form of an issue table, simply because it did not receive the resources it needed and the volunteers burned themselves out with all the work they were doing. There is no doubt whatever that a direct link with 33 cultural centres is not as strong as it was before.
