Global Development Plan : Strategy to Revitalize the English-language Minority Communities of Quebec : Sector Plans

The roots of the English-speaking community in Quebec go back nearly 250 years, and have a historic place in the development of the province. While English-speaking communities traditionally established their own institutions in the areas of religion, education and health and social services, that type of community engagement dissolved to a greater extent with the Quiet Revolution and the emergence of the modern Quebec state. Now, after 30 years of exodus and isolation, the time has come for the English-speaking community to become involved, to re-establish its presence in the policy and program decision-making areas that affect the daily lives of its members.
