Title
Moving Forward : Building Research Capacity Related to Quebec’s English-speaking Seniors : Executive Summary
Abstract
While Quebec’s English-speaking seniors share many of the same needs and priorities as their French-speaking counterparts, as an official linguistic minority community (OLMC) they also have needs and priorities that are unique within the broader senior population. While there has been a great deal of research on Quebec’s demographic shift and its senior population, little - if - any attention has been paid to the specific needs and priorities of Quebec’s English-speaking seniors who are an official language minority community in Canada. One notable exception is the recent 2013 report entitled ‘Enjoying your senior years in your own language’ for the Office of the Commissioner for Official Languages, which employed 2006 Canadian census figures.
