Redefining the Black Experience in Montreal: One Institution at a Time - The Project Woke Interns (Black Community Resource Centre (BCRC), 2020)
Project Woke interns identified and investigated three critical themes affecting the Black community in Montreal. An analysis of societal issues and Canada’s Anti-Racism Strategy Project revealed harmful anti-human rights gaps affecting the Black Community. The findings from several consultations further validated these gaps. A comprehensive list of recommendations is included along with next steps as a continuation to advance Black human rights in Montreal, and elsewhere, along with the support of government and non-government actors.

A Posthumous Honour for a Conspicuous Life : Dr. Gaspard in Quebec - Williams, Dorothy (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2020)
This story is an attempt to understand an unknown individual whose life was significant but has now been forgotten. He was American-born, yet his mother tongue was French. He served Canada in French units but embraced the English-speaking Black community once in Montreal. His life speaks of a complexity of language not often explored in narratives of Quebec’s English-speaking community, particularly in those histories about Blacks in the province. I trust this will be the beginning.

Evaluation Report - Holley, Paul (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2020)
The following evaluation report fulfills a key deliverable of a broader project funded by Canadian Heritage and titled Best Practices in Community Engagement for the English Speaking Youth Population in Quebec, which was implemented by Youth 4 Youth (Y4Y) Quebec from April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020. The key objective of this project was to boost youth engagement and participation in political and community life in Quebec. Y4Y successfully accomplished this objective by engaging over 1,000 youth through a series of 30 community consultations, 12 focus groups, and a youth survey delivered on-line and in-person with 520 respondents. The focus of this report is on the key findings from the survey, which targeted Englishspeaking youth ages 16 to 30 from across the province and collected quantitative and qualitative information on youth media consumption and community engagement activities. A gender-based analysis of key survey findings was also conducted and is presented in this report along with a set of recommendations for community organizations serving Quebec’s English-speaking youth population.

Report on the Consultation by the Secretariat for Relations with English-speaking Quebec - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2020)
During a July 2019 visit with the English-speaking community of Grosse-Île, in the Magdalen Islands, MNA Christopher Skeete, the Parliamentary Assistant to Premier François Legault for Relations with English-speaking Quebecers, announced a province-wide consultation. Scheduled for Fall 2019, the stated goal was to develop an action plan to address the priorities of Quebec’s English-speaking community in collaboration with the Secretariat for Relations with English-speaking Quebecers. Meetings with community stakeholders were held in regions throughout Quebec. These culminated with a sectoral meeting in Quebec City on November 15, 2019. QCGN representatives participated as observers at all of the meetings. We made a presentation at the sectoral meeting.

Response to the Consultation on the Proposed Ethics and Religious Culture Program - Advisory Board on English Education (2020)
The mandate of the Advisory Board on English Education (ABEE) is “to advise the Minister of Education and Higher Education on all matters affecting the educational services offered in English elementary and secondary schools and adult and vocational education centres.” For this reason, we are obliged to offer this contribution to the consultation on replacing the Ethics and Religious Culture (ERC) program, although we are frustrated that the short time allowed for consultation does not allow us to do a careful study of pertinent research and to consult with the milieu to have a fuller understanding of how this course is offered and received in the schools. Curriculum decisions, just as pedagogical decisions, should be based on conclusions from robust research. We question the value of the questions in the on-line survey: it might have been revelatory to have asked respondents to estimate their knowledge of the content and pedagogy of the existing ERC program to assess the pertinence of their opinions. Although the program occupies a small part of the overall elementary and secondary school curriculum, it is a critical program in the development of our future citizens and one that merits thoughtful consideration. Nevertheless, we also hope that the Minister will consider carefully the submissions made to him and that the proposal does not represent a fait accompli. It is clear that the relegation of the study of different religions to one reference in the eight themes of the proposed program represents the government’s intent to further the secularization of public life. However, we question whether this will effectively educate future citizens in an increasingly diverse and multi-faceted society. In the time available, we can only raise the question, but there are pedagogical and practical issues that we believe need to be considered and that we will elaborate.

Westhaven Vision 2020 : A Community Vision for a Healthier, Safer, and More Vibrant Neighbourhood - NDG Community Council (NDGCC) (2020)
In the spring of 2018, the NDG Community Council received funding from the Direction Régionale de Santé Publique de Montréal (DRSP) Mésure 17 programme ‘environnement favorable à la santé’ for a two-year project in Westhaven, a small, physically isolated and so- cio-economically vulnerable neighborhood located in the Montreal borough of Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce. The Mésure 17 fund was created to support projects with an approach based on the supportive environments model, which considers the built environ- ment as a significant influencer on social inequalities in health status in a community. Westhaven was chosen in large part due to its stark socio-demographic differences from other areas nearby.

The Philanthropist : The Life and Legacy of Jeffery Hale - Donovan, Patrick (Jeffery Hale - Saint Brigids (JHSB), 2020)
In Quebec City, people associate the name Jeffery Hale with a hospital. While Hale certainly helped create the institution that bears his name, his story and legacy go well beyond its walls. Unlike most English-speaking immigrants who came to Canada, Jeffery Hale’s ancestors were rich, powerful, and very well connected. They lived a privileged life with strong transatlantic ties to the Royal Family and the colonial military. They furthered a British imperialist agenda and made decisions that shaped the destiny of North America.

DCCADI : Developing Connections and Collaborations Among Digital Initiatives : Final Report to: Canada Council - Digital Strategy Fund - English Language Arts Network (ELAN) (English-Language Arts Network (ELAN), 2020)
With the Developing Connections & Collaborations Among Digital Initiatives (DCCADI) project, ELAN’s ARTS2U has worked with Canada-wide digital initiatives in the arts. ELAN has forged strong relationships among similar projects with the review of data structures, research of commonalities, strategic alignments, and best practices. The ARTS2U - DCCADI initiative provides recommendations for the benefit of Canadian artists and organizations seeking to have increased visibility on digital platforms. The shift to digital platforms has had resounding impacts on creators of art in Canada. Visibility and find-ability are key concepts when artists are seeking to connect with their audiences. The key ideas are central to artists as they strive to achieve sustainable business models in a world powered by AI, machine learning, and structured data. The distribution of arts events and products is currently dominated by social media and technology companies, and Canadian artists are largely not in control of their capacity to reach audiences.

Impact Report 2019-2020 - 4Korners (2020)

Profile of Laurentian English-speaking Youth 15-29 - 4Korners (2020)
According to data published by the Institut de la statistique du Québec in 2020, the population living in the administrative regions of the province has significantly changed between 2019 and 2021, being directly affected by the social impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and its implications for out-migration, mobility, workforce attractivity, work/life balance, lifestyle habits and leisure activities. As a result, it is estimated that 632,000 inhabitants were living in the Laurentian region as of July 1, 2020. This represents an increase of 17.7% for the year 2019-2020, which is higher than the average rate across the province (8.5%) for that year. In fact, it is important to highlight that this region presents the largest increase since the outbreak of the pandemic in March 2020.

What makes for a good quality of life varies from one community to another. This report presents some of the latest statistical measures that have been identified as important to the Lower North Shore. It explores issues like population decline, the economy and our social structures. This document was prepared for the Community Wellbeing Initiative (CWI). It provides a snapshot of the current state of wellbeing on the Lower North Shore based on selected indicators. Along with other measurements, these indicators form a baseline in which the success of the CWI can be assessed. They show where we are making progress, where we are falling behind, and what we can do - both as a region and as individuals - to improve quality of life.

An Uncertain Future for the Future of Québec : Policy Brief on the Under Employment of English-speaking Youth in the Quebec Civil Service - Lawler, Madeleine (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2020)
Since the start of the COVID-19 global pandemic, post-secondary students have been amongst the hardest hit economically. In the span of two months, the unemployment rate amongst Canadian post-secondary students almost doubled, and less than a quarter of previously employed students continued working their regular hours. The global pandemic further exacerbated pre-existing issues of economic vulnerability and underemployment amongst English-speaking youth in Quebec. According to a 2018 CHSSN report, the unemployment rate amongst English-speaking youth was 13.3%, whereas that of their Frenchspeaking counterparts was 9.8%.2 Across different industries, the under-employment of Englishspeaking youth is perhaps the most pitiful within the Quebec civil service. In general, anglophones have represented between 0.7% and 1% of the provincial civil service for nearly half a century, despite representing 7.4% of the population in 2016

But something else historic was also brewing in the province that year: Laubach Literacy Canada-Quebec (LLC-Q), the forerunner of Literacy Volunteers of Quebec, now known as Literacy Quebec.

The 2019-2020 Baseline Data Report (BDR) relays the health and social service findings of the CHSSN/CROP provincial survey of English speakers conducted in 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2019. This report is the first in the Baseline Data Report series to present the CHSSN/CROP provincial survey results from four different time periods. In keeping with the standard CHSSN reporting approach, survey results are organized according to the location of respondents in regional communities across Québec’s adminstrative territory and delineated into sub-groups defined by gender, age, household income, and knowledge of English and French. For report graphs, CHSSN selected two population groups considered vulnerable by many stakeholders with respect to access and language of service due to their age and level of bilingualism. It should be noted that in 2019, the CHSSN provincial survey questionnaire was significantly modified and the title of the survey changed to Community Health and Social Survey to reflect an increased focus on health sector issues. Importantly, despite these changes a sizable number of questions have remained identical and nearly identical across each rendition of the questionnaire. The responses to the questions that reoccurr from 2005 through to 2019 form the basis of these profiles. Information on health and social services access among English-speaking communities gathered through sampling techniques other than CROP telephone interviews are not included.

It should be noted that in 2019, the CHSSN provincial survey questionnaire was significantly modified and the title of the survey changed to Community Health and Social Survey to reflect an increased focus on health sector issues. Importantly, despite these changes a sizable number of questions have remained identical and nearly identical across each rendition of the questionnaire. The responses to the questions that reoccurr from 2005 through to 2019 form the basis of these profiles. Information on health and social services access among English-speaking communities gathered through sampling techniques other than CROP telephone interviews are not included.

Report on Youth Employability in the Greater Quebec City Region - Voice of English-speaking Quebec (VEQ) (2020)
In the winter of 2019-2020, we conducted a survey of English-speaking youth aged 15 to 29 as well as six focus groups at the English high schools in the region to support two projects related to youth employability. Through our needs analysis, we sought to evaluate youth knowledge and/or use of the services offered by the Carrefour jeunesse-emploi centres as well as to gain some insights into the postsecondary education and career plans of the students at the local English high schools. These results are meant to provide a snapshot of the perspectives of Englishspeaking youth on employment in the Greater Quebec City region at this time. Though small in scope and sample size (53 survey participants, 32 focus group participants), this study captures the very real hopes and frustrations of our minority population. At the same time, it also proposes some very concrete and achievable outcomes. We hope that this document can serve as a springboard for employers and service providers to work with us, and members of our community, to increase the employability of English-speaking youth in the Greater Quebec City region. Let’s build a better future for all Québécois.

On October 1, 2019, the CAQ Minister of Education and Higher Education Jean Francois Roberge tabled Bill 40, An Act to amend mainly the Education Act with regard to school organization and governance, fulfilling an election promise made by Premier Francois Legault to abolish school boards in Quebec. This lengthy and complex projet de loi affects more than 84 separate acts and regulations and we feel, proposes a governance model that is unnecessarily complex and unmanageable.

Black and English-speaking in Montreal : an Intersectional Snapshot - Zehavi, Bonnie (2019)
This paper presents a general overview of the challenges faced by English-speaking Black community members in Montreal, as well as the exacerbation of those barriers for individuals with a history of justice involvement. Frontline community initiatives focusing on education, employment, and entrepreneurship at DESTA Black Youth Network are profiled as an example of grassroots efforts to mitigate disparate circumstances between English-speaking Black Montrealers and their white counterparts. Statistical data in the areas of educational attainment, rates of unemployment, and income provide the platform for analysis and, recognizing the multiple identity experiences of belonging to a racialized and linguistic minority, an intersectional framework is employed. Recommendations for more race-based study, policy, and funding to better support equity strategies are provided.

The Quebec Community Groups Network (“QCGN”) has not been invited to appear before the Committee in the course of its special consultations on Bill 40. Nonetheless, the QCGN submits this brief to the Committee. In addition to providing an excellent education to students, Quebec’s English public schools exist to preserve and promote the language and unique culture of English-speaking Quebec. The Government of Quebec must recognize and support the linguistic and cultural rights of Quebec’s English-speaking community. At the same time, the English-speaking community of Quebec recognizes the need for reforms. In 2015, the community conducted a wide-ranging consultation, and prepared recommendations to the Minister of Education and Higher Education on the matter. Bill 40 largely ignores those recommendations, particularly the recommendations for improving the electoral system. It does not reflect a model of education governance by and for the English- speaking community.

Bill 40 and the English Education System in Québec - Advisory Board on English Education (2019)
In preparing this brief, the Advisory Board on English Education (ABEE) has explored the research literature on models of governance in education and listened very carefully to the reactions of schools and the wider community to Bill 40. The brief questions the relevance of the reform by asking: What problem is it trying to solve? Currently, English-language schools have an excellent success rate on provincial, national and international measures of achievement and focus on providing students with the means and options to do even better. ABEE appreciates that a form of suffrage for English boards has been maintained but feels that it falls short of the English-speaking community’s expressed expectations of universality. ABEE, along with others, has long urged the government to reform the electoral process with a view to improving voter participation. We believe that with modifications to the process, elections can be cost effective and encourage increased participation. The Board further believes that the present system of election by universal suffrage every four years has served the English-speaking community well and that any failures in governance should be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. ABEE welcomes the Bill’s intent to provide mandatory training for service centre board members and school governing board members.

The Quebec Community Groups Network (“QCGN”) has not been invited to appear before the Committee in the course of its special consultations on Bill 40. Nonetheless, the QCGN submits this brief to the Committee. In addition to providing an excellent education to students, Quebec’s English public schools exist to preserve and promote the language and unique culture of English-speaking Quebec. Schools are key and central institutions of the English-speaking community of Quebec. The Government of Quebec must recognize and support the linguistic and cultural rights of Quebec’s English-speaking community. Management and control of our educational institutions cannot be unilaterally restricted. At the same time, the English-speaking community of Quebec recognizes the need for reforms to the governance of its educational institutions.

Bill 40 : An Act to Amend Mainly the Education Act With Regard to School Organization and Governance - Townshippers' Association (2019)
For 40 years now Townshippers’ Association has been at the forefront of community engagement, pursuing its mission to promote the interests of the English-speaking community in Quebec’s historical Eastern Townships, strengthen its cultural identity, and encourage the full participation of the English-speaking population in the community at large. We work on behalf of approximately 40,000 English-speakers who are spread across a region that is larger than Belgium in its geography; stretching from Philipsburg in the west to Megantic in the east, and from Inverness in the north to the U.S. border in the south. As indicated in the past in briefs submitted by the association during previous public commission debates around school boards and their governance, Townshipper’s Association fully supports the position that parents, education professionals and community members need to have a greater voice in the governance of schools and the services they provide to both students and the community. This bill, as did similar legislation introduced and subsequently abandoned in the recent past, provides an opportunity to evaluate the importance of these governance structures and propose new and innovative means for improving decision-making processes that will enhance the quality of education for English-speaking minority students, especially in regards to curriculum, pedagogy and student success. However Bill 40 purports to uphold the English-speaking minority language community’s right to the management and control of its educational institutions and maintain a certain level of community involvement, it fails to demonstrate how the structural changes it puts forth will positively impact student success, alleviate costs associated with elections and ensure that democratic processes are upheld through ensuring accuracy in electoral lists.

Baseline Data Report 2018-2019 Part 1 (Telephone Survey) : English-language Health and Social Services Access in Québec - Pocock, Joanne (Community Health and Social Services Network, 2019)
The Baseline Data Report series is intended to serve as a resource that will allow local communities to better understand the demographic factors and health determinants affecting them and to assist institutional partners and community leaders in developing strategies to improve the well-being of their constituencies. The Baseline Data Report 2018-2019 explores a single factor that is a key determinant of the health of English-speaking Quebec, namely, access to health and social services.

The CHSSN focus groups were designed as face-to-face group discussions with a lead moderator. As the accompanying table indicates, nine focus groups were held across six regions with a total attendance of 116 English speakers (18+). The recruitment process entailed a public announcement by the host organizations located in each region: Neighbours Regional Association of Rouyn-Noranda (NRARN), English Community Organization in Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean (ECO-02), North Shore Community Association (NSCA), Coasters Association (Coasters), Megantic Community Development Corporation (MCDC), and the Centre for Access to Services in English (CASE). The host organizations in each region also assumed responsibility for arranging a time, finding a location, providing refreshments and technical assistance.
