The Jeffery Hale-St. Brigid’s Users’ Committee met ten times from April 2021 to March, 2022 plus at the Annual Meeting on June 7, 2021. There were no in-person meetings held because of the Public Health constraints imposed by the COVID 19 worldwide pandemic so all meetings were held through Zoom. Some of the main challenges this public health situation has presented to the Committee have been the difficulty of meaningfully supporting staff in both residences, limited in- person access to Residents and their families, recruiting new members, and the complications in planning and implementing programmes.

Sense of Belonging Among English-speaking Youth in Québec : Confronting Isolation Through Digital Community Building - Pettem, Alexandre (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2022)
Since the onset of Covid-19, community has come to inhabit a digital medium for many of Québec’s English-speaking youth. But what does this mean in concrete terms? How is this linguistic minority using social media, and in what manner are they experiencing this digital shift? Will they want to keep having online events going forward? Our paper observes the digital behavior of young (aged 16-30) English-speaking Québecers from March 2020 until the current moment in the pandemic’s development.

Brief to House of Commons Standing Committee on Official Languages : Bill C-13, An Act for the Substantive Equality of Canada's Official Languages - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2022)
The Official Languages Act is a lifeline for English-speaking Quebec. With Quebec’s Bill 96, the community needs this lifeline more than ever. But with Bill C-13, this lifeline is fraying. Founded in 1995, the Quebec Community Groups Network (“QCGN”) is a not-for-profit organization linking English-language community organizations across Quebec. The QCGN—like the community it serves—is proud to support the protection and promotion of the French language in Canada. The QCGN advocates for linguistic duality in every province and territory. The English-speaking minority in Quebec is a diverse, bilingual, and resilient community that is facing serious economic challenges—in the face of persistent myths and stereotypes. Although the English language itself is not threatened, the English-speaking community’s challenge is in maintaining the community’s vitality and survival in all regions of Quebec.

Each organization has worked to identify gaps in youth mental health services; engage youth in program design; partner with local schools, public health services and other community organizations; adapt, translate, and produce resources; and offer activities and programs for young people to help fill some of the gaps. Through a community of practice and individualized support, CHSSN helped community organizations to build their knowledge, network with each other and problemsolve on program implementation.

The Best-Treated Minority in the World : Historical and Discursive Analysis of a Cliché - Donovan, Patrick (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2022)
Politicians, polemicists, and others have long referred to Quebec’s Englishspeaking community as the “best-treated minority in the world.”1 This loaded phrase has also been used to describe other minorities: French speakers within Canada as a whole, Indigenous peoples in Canada, and religious groups and minorities in many European and colonial contexts. Through a historical overview and discourse analysis, this paper traces how the phrase has been used and abused, justified, and criticized over time. The particular focus is the Quebec context. There, we see a shift from a largely consensual use of the phrase across all language groups to one that becomes increasingly divisive and problematic from the 1980s on. This shift parallels the English-speaking community’s evolving sense of itself as a minority in decline.

It focuses specifically on an institution in one of these municipalities, the Whiteley Museum. The report provides the authors’ suggestions to improve tourism development as a means to diversify the economy, potentially help reverse demographic decline, and build community vitality.

Understanding the Long-term Care Experience of Official Language Minorities in Canada: An Environmental Scan - Hsu, Amy T.; Ménard, Alixe; Scott, Mary (2022)
Members of minority and racialized communities across Canada commonly experience disparities in health and healthcare. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, minority and racialized individuals have been found to report poorer health outcomes and added barriers to healthcare access. While there is growing understanding of the impact of COVID-19 on individuals who live and work in residential long-term care (LTC) homes and other congregate care settings, little attention has been directed at examining inequities in the care experience and care-related outcomes that equity-seeking groups, including Official Language Minority Communities (OLMC), face within LTC. It’s clear that there is a need for systemic change within LTC; the pandemic, especially in its first two waves, highlighted several pre-existing issues within this sector. To ensure high-quality and equitable care for all aging Canadians, these system-level changes must be informed by evidence.

The Effects of the Pandemic on the Arts & Creative Sector in Québec : How Anglophone Artists, Creators, and Performers are Faring in a Time of Adversity - Eraso, Cecilia (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2022)
The arts, entertainment, and recreation sector is infamous for being in a state of constant flux. The experience of consecutive short-term contracts and annual seasonal employment terminations is a familiar reality for many creators, producers, and performers in Québec (Jeannotte, 2021). What is unique for some Québec artists is the experience of a linguistic divide in the provincial arts sector. In 2016, English-speaking artists in the province earned less than their Francophone counterparts, on average, making a median income of “85 cents for every $1 made by Francophone artists’’ (Hill, 2020). On the national level, statistics from the 2016 Canadian Census show that Anglophone artists from Québec have a lower median income than the rest of Canadian artists. These findings are especially surprising when considering that, nationally, English-speakers in Québec represent a significant portion of Canadian artists. Anglophones in Québec account for 4.6% of all Canadian artists, despite only representing 2.8% of the Canadian labour force (Hill, 2020). The data indicate that two factors, occupation and language, are related to discrepancies in income levels in Québec.

It will affirm Canada’s commitment to promote linguistic duality and the vitality of official language minority communities including Quebec’s English-speaking communities. As part of the federal commitment, Health Canada will be invited to develop a new Official Languages Health Contribution Program to improve access to health and social services for English-speaking communities in Quebec, and French-speaking communities in the rest of Canada.

Improving the Health and Well-being of English-speaking Seniors in the Laurentians, Québec : A Needs Assessment - Helou, Rola; Finch, Lois; Richardson, Mary (4Korners, 2022)
This needs assessment was commissioned by the 4Korners Laurentian Community Network, a registered Canadian charitable organization founded in 2005, which connects individuals of the Laurentians with programs and services to meet their needs in a secure and inclusive environment. The objective was to identify the needs of the aging English-speaking population in the Laurentians and to determine if they are currently being met. The First Nations Adult Education School Council conducted the assessment in partnership with S.O.A.R. Solutions, a consulting firm. The work was overseen by a committee (the Seniors’ Needs Assessment Committee, SNAC), made up of 4Korners employees, volunteers, the Elders’ Community Worker from the Kanesatake Health Center and project consultants from the First Nations Adult Education School Council.

Exploring the Effects of Language as a Barrier on Access to Care Service Utilization and Well-being Outcomes for English-speaking Families in Quebec - Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN) (2022)
The majority of English speakers in Quebec, and parents to a child aged 0-8 years old, reported feeling socially awkward, uncomfortable and experiencing symptoms associated to stress and anxiety when speaking in French. Parents also reported feeling socially inhibited, and confused when required to speak in French to healthcare professionals. The qualitative interview also validated the existence of challenges navigating the healthcare system due to language barriers. Reported language barriers included difficulty communicating with professionals in French affecting their ability to access timely healthcare, compromised quality of patient care, and experiencing discrimination when requesting the provision of English services. Patients with lived experience pleaded the case that health policymakers had to act in order to ensure more equitable access to care and implement measures to better support English speakers (i.e., using Al and other technologies for booking).

The Regroupement pour la Valorisation de la Paternité (RVP) brings together more than 250 organizations and individuals from the 17 administrative regions of Quebec. Its mission is to value the role of fathers and to promote their importance in the family and in society for the development and well-being of children, in a perspective of equality between parents. The RVP has enlisted the services of SOM to consult Quebec fathers of children under 18 years of age in order to better understand the concept of vulnerability in the context of fatherhood, particularly from the perspective of the diversity of parental experiences and pathways. In partnership with the Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN), this report was based on a subsample of 400 respondents who completed the questionnaire in English.

French-language Support for Québec's English-speaking Professionals - Juste, Catherine-Laure (Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT), 2022)
French-language barriers can be a challenge for professionals who are English speakers and must practice their profession in accordance with French-language policies. Despite high levels of English-French bilingualism among Québec’s English speakers, French remains a challenge for some who require additional profession-specific French-language training. Not only is French-language proficiency a requirement for membership in Québec’s professional orders, but professionals who do not meet language criteria must also pass a French-language competency exam administered by the Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF). Additionally, professional orders can mandate all their members to take French-language professional competency exams throughout their careers.

Youth Pulse Check : Survey Results Report - Nigam, Sunita (Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN), 2022)
This document outlines the most important findings of the Youth Pulse Check, a mental health survey filled out by 456 English-speaking youth between the ages of 18-29 from 14 regions across the province of Quebec. Although 90% of respondents said they struggled at least somewhat often with their mental wellbeing and 81% of respondents, said that the COVID-19 pandemic has increased their struggles to feel well at a level 3 or more on a scale of 1 to 5, the survey revealed that many English-speaking youth feel there are significant gaps and barriers in accessing mental health services in their region. If many youth reported having sought out help in the past without success—meeting with barriers such as long wait lists, the prohibitive costs of mental health support, or the unavailability of services in English— other youth reported not having sought out help because of a lack of information about services to which they might turn.
