Title
Portrait of the English-speaking Community of Richmond
Abstract
This portrait has been completed by Townshippers’ Association and the Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN), in collaboration with the Centre de santé et des services sociaux Val-Saint-François and the Richmond & Region Community Learning Center. Townshippers’ Association is a non-profit, non-partisan community organization focused on promoting and supporting the interests of the English-speaking minority community in the Eastern Townships region of Quebec. The Association was founded in 1979 to ensure the English-speaking community would remain visible despite a declining population. Through a variety of initiatives, Townshippers’ works to strengthen the community and culture of English-speaking Townshippers, open doors of opportunity for youth and promote access to health, social and other services in English. Townshippers’ also strives to encourage the active participation of English-speakers in all aspects of the greater community, in order to help the English-speaking community of the Eastern Townships build bridges with their French-speaking neighbours.
The main objective of this portrait is to contribute to a more in-depth understanding of the English-speaking community of Richmond and the surrounding area, in order to inform future actions.
