La vitalité des communautés minoritaires par l'éducation, rapport sur le premier forum - Cooper, Celine; Donovan, Patrick; O'Donnell, Lorraine (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2018)
"Du 28 au 30 octobre 2018, des chercheurs, des praticiens, des intervenants communautaires et des décideurs se sont rassemblés à l’Université Concordia pour participer à un forum de trois jours axé sur la population minoritaire anglophone au Québec et intitulé La vitalité des communautés minoritaires par l’éducation. Le forum a été organisé par la Table d’éducation interordres, un comité du QUESCREN de l’Université Concordia. L’objectif du forum consistait à encourager la mobilisation en vue d’élaborer, pour les communautés d’expression anglaise au Québec, une offre éducative sensée et viable allant du niveau préscolaire aux études universitaires et favorisant la persévérance scolaire, l’accès à de bons emplois au Québec et un fort sentiment d’identité et d’appartenance."

Report on the First "Minority Community Vitality Through Education" Forum - Cooper, Celine; Donovan, Patrick; O'Donnell, Lorraine (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2018)
From October 28 to 30, 2018, researchers, practitioners, community stakeholders and policymakers gathered at Concordia University for a three-day forum entitled “Minority Community Vitality Through Education,” and focused on Quebec’s English-speaking minority population. The Forum was convened by the Inter-Level Educational Table, a committee of the Quebec English-Speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN) at Concordia University. The objective of the Forum was to encourage mobilization around the development of a healthy and sustainable English-language educational offer in Quebec, from pre-K to university, that leads to student retention, access to good jobs in Quebec and a strong sense of identity and belonging.

An Independent Report of the History Experts Committee On the Provincial History of Québec and Canada Program and Approved English Textbooks - Commission scolaire English-Montreal / English Montreal School Board (2018)
In September 2017, the Ministry of Education implemented a revised Secondary III and IV compulsory History of Québec and Canada program. This program raised a number of issues that became of concern to the English Montreal School Board (EMSB). Given these concerns, the EMSB commissioned an independent History Experts Committee to review the content of this program as well as the Ministry-approved English-language textbooks. The following is a summary of the findings of this Committee

Secondary School Exchanges : A Promising Way of Fostering Bilingualism in the Next Generation - Lai, Edward; Orme, Charlie; Fleming, Scott (Y4Y Québec, 2018)
In Quebec, it is a basic fact that a solid grasp of the French language is essential to finding work, participating fully in the political process, and integrating into society. While statistics show that bilingualism is very common among the Englishspeaking minority, and especially so among youth, problems nonetheless arise. Young English-speakers frequently report that they do not feel confident enough in their ability to speak French, while others remark that their written French is not strong enough to land a job. Inadequate knowledge of French is a contributing factor to the higher unemployment rates experienced by young English- speakers. A lack of work, and a hampered ability to take part in public life in general, lead to the disenfranchisement of members of this community. Given the high demand among young English- speakers for more French-language training, policy makers must come up with new and creative ways of meeting the demand.

The Quebec Community Groups Network (“QCGN”) welcomes this opportunity to contribute to this Committee’s study on modernizing the Official Languages Act (“the Act”). In the spirit of modernization, the QCGN takes this opportunity to present a picture of the contemporary English-speaking community of Quebec. As this Committee noted in 2011, there are certain widely-held myths regarding this community. The QCGN hopes to contribute to a modernized understanding of this community and its role as a unique and important official language minority community in Canada.

Compte tenu du retard de scolarisation du Québec dans les années 1960, il faut saluer ces succès indéniables. Toutefois, malgré les progrès importants réalisés depuis les réformes découlant du Rapport Parent, un problème majeur persiste : le taux de diplomation dans les écoles publiques québécoises est encore très faible, et surtout il stagne depuis plusieurs années.

Recommendations from the Youth Unemployment Forum Held on December 5, 2017 - Youth Employment Services (YES) (2018)
In Quebec and indeed across Canada we are confronting the many and varied challenges of a rapidly evolving labour market. New technologies are developing at a rate that is challenging our institutions; globalization is bringing increasing unpredictability to economic systems; traditional management models are being disrupted by the growing sharing and gig economies. Youth may have adapted quickly to high-tech society, however it would be disastrous to assume they will adjust as easily to the trials of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Today’s youth need innovative supports to help them to survive in and capitalize on the complexities of the future economy. While Québec youth have never been more highly educated or bilingual, young job seekers andemployers alike are frustrated. Not enough has been done to curb the outmigration of educated youth nor to create an equitable environment for underrepresented populations. It hardly matters that jobs may be available, if youth are not here or not able to connect with them. This is why, with support from Canadian Heritage, on December 5th, 2017 YES convened a daylong forum bringing together multiple sectors from throughout the province of Quebec, to develop a deeper understanding of the unique employment barriers faced by Quebec’s Official Language Minority Community (OLMC) youth.

It’s an important, interactive communications tool that we must learn to harness and use strategically. Over the past five years, the QCGN and many of its members have established a solid and growing digital presence that has connected us with more and more members of our community. Social media provides an interactive space where we can proactively spread relevant news and views, share happenings from across our Network with members and partners, ask and answer questions, and connect with important community and political stakeholders. It is also a place where we can garner support and gather feedback.

Key Demographic and Socio-economic Characteristics of Quebec's English-speaking Youth (15-29) - Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN) (2018)
This CHSSN report profiles the situation of English-speaking citizens of Quebec who are engaged in the numerous transitions that are typically encountered between the ages of 15 and 29 in the critical passage from childhood to adulthood. Youth is a stage of life characterized by challenges that can be decisive in the quality of life of individuals and their communities and for the vast majority of Quebecers aged 15-29, these milestones are completing school, gaining occupational experience and even starting a family and establishing a household. This report offers current information organized to support “the village” - from policy-makers and program managers through to public institutions and community organizations and networks - whose actions impact the lives of minority language youth striving to build their future and the future of all Quebec’s citizens.

CLC Extended Model : Learnings & Next Steps from the First 4 Years - Estuaries Learning Consulting Group (Leading English Education and Resource Network (LEARN), 2018)
From January to March of 2018, LEARN undertook an evaluation of the CLC extended model that looked to answer two key questions: 1) Has the CLC extended model been a success, and; 2) What best practices can schools and school boards adopt to effectively introduce the CLC extended model? In asking these questions, LEARN was looking to support two specific types of stakeholders: 1) Schools and school boards wanting to understand the benefits and outcomes of the extended model; and, 2) Schools and school boards wanting a deeper understanding of how to extend effectively. The majority of school boards currently have CLCs that have been extended models for a short duration. The data presented here reflects this, as it responds to question two more fully. It will be useful to do a further evaluation in a few years’ time to gather more precise data on the success of the model, once schools have engaged with it for a longer period.

In July 2017, the CHSSN submitted the present report to the Quebec Ministry of Health and Social Services inviting it to undertake consultations with key public institutions and community representatives with respect to the recommendations. The objective was to ensure that a proposal to Health Canada reflected the shared commitment of Quebec and its English-speaking communities to work in partnership to improve access to health and social services in English. In its reply to the CHSSN in October 2017 (Appendix), the Ministry supported the recommendations in accordance with comments reflecting the results of its consultations with the public institutions. To support Health Canada in its mandate to prepare a new Contribution Program, the sponsoring organizations of the twenty recognized community health and social services networks along with the CHSSN are submitting the present report and recommendations reflecting the continuity of results of the last federal contribution and emergence of new priorities for the period ahead.

The Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) is pleased to submit the following brief to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Official Languages’ (LANG) study on the Full Implementation of the Official Languages Act in the Canadian Justice System. We understand the Committee’s objective is to examine how and to what extent the Official Languages Act is applied in areas of justice that fall under federal jurisdiction. The Committee should know that English-speaking Quebec does not yet possess the level of capacity in this sector represented by organizations like the Fédération des associations de juristes d'expression française de common law, the Centre canadien de français juridique, or the Réseau national de formation en justice. We do not have researched and coherent policy proposals, nor even a developed Quebec-wide network of English-speaking jurists. We are hopeful however that this capacity will develop, and the QCGN continues to actively support the newly formed Association of English-speaking Jurists of Quebec (AESJQ), who have submitted their own brief towards this study.

Éducation autochtone : Les deux rives du fleuve - Advisory Board on English Education (2017)
À l’échelle mondiale, la recherche rend compte du faible rendement scolaire des élèves de culture autochtone, mais aussi d’une tendance progressive à améliorer cette situation. La Commission de vérité et de réconciliation (CVR) du gouvernement canadien a donné l’impulsion nécessaire pour que les provinces examinent leurs pratiques, et la Commission de l’éducation en langue anglaise (CELA) félicite le ministre de l’Éducation, du Loisir et du Sport de prendre part à l’initiative. Les rapports de recherche et les médias font état de facteurs nombreux et divers qui entravent la réussite des enfants autochtones à l’école. Certains, comme l’éloignement et l’inaccessibilité des communautés, la rareté et le coût élevé de la nourriture, la pauvreté, les mauvaises conditions d’habitation et une infrastructure défaillante, débordent du cadre des solutions purement éducationnelles, mais ils n’en ont pas moins, en se combinant, de profonds effets sur les résultats scolaires. Il faut donc mobiliser les services sociaux et médicaux pour améliorer les conditions qui influent sur la réussite scolaire des élèves autochtones, ce qui, nous l’espérons, sera facilité au Québec par le Plan d’action gouvernemental en matière de développement social autochtone. Quoi qu’il en soit, l’éducation reste à la base de toute solution potentielle aux difficultés et aux problèmes de cette population. Pour améliorer la situation des 100 000 Autochtones du Québec, il faut commencer par la jeune génération. D’ailleurs, bon nombre des problèmes qui mènent à l’insuccès scolaire, dont quelques uns sont abordés dans ce mémoire, peuvent être résolus par le système d’éducation. Il n’est pas question ici de prescrire un « remède aux problèmes » du système scolaire autochtone, aussi ce mémoire ne formule‑t-il pas de recommandations, à la différence de la plupart de ceux que la CELA a déposés jusqu’ici. Il dresse plutôt une liste des éléments qui peuvent alimenter la discussion sur l’éducation des Autochtones au Québec. Nous espérons en outre que certaines des observations et recommandations formulées dans nos mémoires précédents au sujet du système d’éducation anglophone seront d’un apport utile, même si notre perspective est surtout celle des différences entre cultures et des problèmes de longue date des systèmes scolaires autochtones.

Indigenous Education : Walking on Both Sides of the River - Advisory Board on English Education (2017)
Worldwide research has identified low school achievement levels among students from Indigenous cultures and there is a gradual movement to improve their situation. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of the Canadian government has provided the impetus for the provinces to examine their practices and the Advisory Board on English Education (ABEE) congratulates the Minister of Education, Recreation and Sports for joining this initiative. The research literature and the media have identified a broad range of issues affecting the success of Indigenous children in schools. Some of these issues, such as the remoteness and inaccessibility of the communities, poverty, the scarcity and high cost of food, poor housing, and infrastructure problems, are outside the scope of educational solutions, although they combine to have a profound effect on educational outcomes. Social and medical services must be called upon to improve the circumstances that contribute to the educational success of Indigenous students, and we hope this will be facilitated in Québec by the provincial government’s Aboriginal Social Development Action Plan. Yet education is fundamental to any potential solution to Indigenous concerns and problems, and any changes to the situation of the 100 000 Indigenous people of Québec must start with the younger generation. Many of the issues affecting the students and their success or failure in school can be addressed by the school system and this brief will identify some of them. In no way is this brief a prescription to “cure problems” in the Indigenous school system, so it does not contain recommendations, unlike most ABEE briefs. Rather, we will identify some of the issues that might contribute to the discussion of Indigenous education in Québec. We hope that some of the observations and recommendations we have made in earlier briefs regarding the Anglophone school system will be useful additions to the conversation, even though our perspective is influenced by differences between cultures and long-standing problems within Indigenous school systems.

The Network Model : Influencing Public Policy for Social Change - Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN) (2017)
The case studies being presented in today demonstrate that the development principles are at work every day and are now being pressed into new areas of action. The values underpinning the network model include promoting the identity of our communities, promoting social inclusion and advocating for equity in the broader society in its treatment of communities. These values can support network strategies to enter the “next level” of participation in societal initiatives setting broad policy goals. The reward for such effort can be societal recognition that the programs that define Quebec’s commitment to social progress also include our communities.

Access to Justice for Minority Populations : Focus on the English-speaking Communities of Quebec: 2000-2016 - Shohet, Linda (Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN), 2016)
The objectives of this project are to research access to justice issues experienced by English-speaking Quebecers from their perspective, to establish metrics for measuring access to justice that fit the needs of community members, and to make recommendations to mitigate or overcome gaps and challenges for the English-speaking community of Quebec. The guiding question is: What is the lived experience for an English-speaking Quebecer in accessing legal and judicial information and services or in interacting with any of the social services that are now understood to be implicated in the broader concept of access to justice? This literature review is the first deliverable from Phase 1 of the project with an expectation that the findings will inform the second deliverable — a research plan to fill gaps in knowledge about the reality of access to justice for the anglophone population of Quebec.

The Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) represents forty-eight (48) English-language community groups across Quebec. QCGN recognizes that Quebec’s English public school system is a key institution of the English-speaking community of Quebec - a linguistic minority community. The management and control of these institutions is a matter of governance subject to minority language educational rights contained in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and Quebec’s democratic tradition, expressed in the political rights guaranteed by the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms.

Mémoire à la Commission de la culture et de l’éducation : Consultations particulières et audiences publiques sur le projet de loi no 105 : Loi modifiant la Loi sur l’instruction publique - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2016)
Le Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) est un organisme qui représente quarante-huit (48) groupes communautaires d’expression anglaise, répartis dans l’ensemble du Québec. Le QCGN reconnaît que le système scolaire public anglais du Québec est une institution qui joue un rôle de premier plan dans la communauté d’expression anglaise de la province – une communauté linguistique minoritaire. La gestion et le contrôle de ses institutions sont une question de gouvernance sujette aux droits à l’instruction dans la langue de la minorité. Enchâssés dans la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés et dans la tradition démocratique québécoise, ces droits sont également énoncés et garantis par la Charte des droits et libertés de la personne du Québec.

The Community Learning Centre Initiative : Framework for Action - Smith, William J. (Leading English Education and Resource Network (LEARN), 2016)
In the province of Quebec, English language-minority communities do not always have equitable access to education, health and/or social services. This challenge is particularly acute for English educational institutions and communities, especially in those regions where Anglophones make up a small percentage of the total population and the English school is the only English- language public sector institution in the community. The Community Learning Centre (CLC) Initiative helps to address this gap by building partnerships between English schools and organizations/institutions in their communities. These partnerships, facilitated by a Community Development Agent (CDA), leverage resources that benefit students, their families and the broader community. Recognizing the value of the CLC Initiative, the Association of Directors General of English School Boards of Québec (ADGESBQ) has supported its development since its inception.
