Even for bilingual people, linguistic barriers might arise in a health care situation due to stress levels, complex or unusual vocabulary, cultural differences, or physical factors associated with the illness itself.

The Literacy and Essential Skills Needs of Quebec's Anglophone Adults - Centre for Literacy (CFL) (2012)
Understanding the Literacy and Essential Skills Needs of Quebec’s Anglophone Adults,1 Phase 1, was a project designed to deepen knowledge and understanding of the literacy and essential skills (LES) needs of Anglophone adults living in Quebec as a basis to more effectively serve Englishspeaking communities across the province. The issue was first identified in a publication by Statistics Canada of the 2003 IALSS results for Canada’s official language minorities (discussed in detail in Sections Three and Four) which showed large disparities in literacy performance among Quebec Anglophones (Corbeil 2006: 20). The findings suggested differences in needs from one community to another that may require targeted services.

The New Carlisle Community Learning Centre (NCHS CLC) is one of 37 community schools in Quebec. We are located in a small town on the Gaspesian Peninsula. Many people refer to the location as The Baie Des Chaleur. Our vibrant CLC is located in the town of New Carlisle, within New Carlisle High School. The centre was established to encourage lifelong learning by facilitating access to services and offering support to families, students and community members. The founders believed that a CLC would bridge the noticeable gaps in rural communities like ours, balancing the playing field so that our community would have the same opportunities as more fortunate and larger areas. Therefore, the CLC’s main goal is to link partners together to create a culture of lifelong learning that enhances the capacity of the population to live in healthy vibrant communities.

Baisse des effectifs dans le secteur scolaire anglophone du Québec - Ciamarra, Nadine; Lamarre, Patricia; Donovan, Patrick; O'Donnell, Lorraine (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2021)
La Charte de la langue française (1977)1, également connue sous le nom de Loi 101, a eu un impact fort et durable sur les écoles publiques de langue anglaise2. En vertu de cette loi, les élèves de la maternelle au secondaire dont les parents ou les frères et sœurs canadiens ont été instruits au Canada en anglais ont droit à une éducation publique en anglais. À quelques exceptions près, tous les autres élèves doivent fréquenter des écoles de langue française. Ces clauses éducatives limitent l’accès aux écoles de langue anglaise3 en orientant les enfants d’immigrants nouvellement arrivés vers les écoles publiques de langue française4, ainsi que l’accès des Québécois francophones qui n’ont pas des membres de leurs familles qui ont fréquenté des écoles de langue anglaise.

Challenges Around Resources and Services in Quebec's English-language Schools - Ciamarra, Nadine; Lamarre, Patricia; Donovan, Patrick; O'Donnell, Lorraine (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2021)
English-language schools in Quebec struggle with diverse challenges, from urban and rural poverty to being located in isolated and remote areas. These issues impact the services and resources available to students and schools already constrained by a declining student population (Advisory Board on English Education [ABEE], 2018).

Decline of Enrolment in Quebec's English-language School Sector - Ciamarra, Nadine; Lamarre, Patricia; Donovan, Patrick; O'Donnell, Lorraine (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2021)
The Charter of the French language (1977),1 also known as Bill 101, has had a strong and lasting impact on the English-language public school sector.2 Under this law, kindergarten to secondary school students whose Canadian parents or siblings were educated in Canada in English are entitled to English-language public education. Aside from a few exceptions, all other students must attend French-language schools. These educational clauses limit access to English-language schools3 by routing the children of newly arrived immigrants to French-language public schools,4 as well as restricting the access of Francophone Quebecers with no family history of attending English-language schools.

Issues of Bilingual Education in Quebec's English-language Schools - Ciamarra, Nadine; Lamarre, Patricia; Donovan, Patrick; O'Donnell, Lorraine (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2021)
The percentage of Quebec’s population with French-English bilingual skills has steadily increased over the past decades, and this is the case for all Quebecers, regardless of language background (Turcotte, 2019). Quebec Anglophone youth, however, are the most bilingual, and become bilingual at a younger age than Francophone or Allophone youth. The explanation is simple: Quebec’s English-speaking parents have been able to rely on schools to develop their children’s bilingual skills, thanks to French immersion and other enriched French-secondlanguage programs (Lamarre, 1997, 2007, 2012; Magnan et al., 2018), and in some cases by crossing over to the French sector (Laperrière & Lamarre, 2006).

La définition des Québécois d’expression anglaise est complexe, évolutive et varie en fonction des différents enjeux politiques et des compétences. La définition la plus restrictive limite la population aux personnes dont l’anglais est la seule langue maternelle. La définition la plus large inclut les locuteurs non natifs qui utilisent l’anglais avec une fréquence supérieure ou égale à celle du français (Jedwab, 2010; Donovan, 2015).

A Needs Assessment on the Issue of Hiring and Retaining English Professionals on the Lower North Shore - Coasters Association (2006)
The Coasters Association, in partnership with the Centre de Santé et de Services Sociaux de la Basse- Côte-Nord (CSSSBCN), received a Training and Human Resources Development Project from McGill University for seven (7) weeks from February 13 to March 31, 2006, under the Retention and Distance Professional and Community Support Program, to conduct a needs assessment on the issue of hiring and retaining Professionals, not only English-speaking - but Bilingual Professionals as well, on the Lower North Shore of Quebec. The objective of this needs assessment was to develop Phase II which is a two year proposal that would lead to the improvement of hiring and retaining professionals on the territory. The long term intended outcome is the increase in access to Health and Social Services for English speaking residents on the Lower North Shore. Another objective of this needs assessment is to make contact with institutional and community based organizations (ie: Education and H.&S.S.), it is hoped that these contacts will lead to long term partnerships and commitment to addressing the hiring and retention of English and/or Bilingual Professionals on the Lower North Shore.

Building Better Futures for Our Children - Coasters Association (2008)
Early Childhood Development (ECD) is an umbrella term referring to the first developmental stage in a child’s life. Between the ages of 0-5, children experience a rush of accelerated growth…physically, mentally, emotionally, morally, and socially. A child’s brain development in the first six years of life sets the foundation for lifelong learning, behaviour, and health. The education, care and attention children receive from their parents and other caregivers during this crucial period have a decisive effect on their personal futures as well as on the economy and society in general. The following is a report that outlines the activities that were carried out throughout the project for Early Childhood Development. The main goal of this project was to identify the resources, programs, services, and the needs of each community on the Lower North Shore in regards to youth aged 0-5 and as a result increase the resources available to support early childhood programs on the Coast.

Lower North Shore Collective Impact Forum - Coasters Association (2017)
In April 2017, the Commission Scolaire du Littoral and Community Learning Centres hosted a Lower North Shore training forum. The goal of this regional training forum was to provide an opportunity for participants to learn a method of working together called “Collective Impact”. Collective impact is an advanced method of collaboration that teaches participants how to work together to solve large complex problems so that schools and communities may thrive, developing shared success and shared leadership. Complex problems require engagement and collaborative leadership of stakeholders from across all sectors and all levels of the community leadership including i.e. government leaders, funding agencies, schools, hospitals, the private sector, the not-for-profit sector, community organizers and community members.

Remote Site Information Technology Assessment for the Municipality of Bonne-Esperance Lower North Shore, Quebec - Coasters Association (2004)
Information technologies (computers, Internet, etc.) are an essential component of modern economic development strategies. The Lower North Shore has lagged behind other areas in terms of equipment, infrastructure and human resource capacity for using information technologies as an integral part of their community development efforts (i.e. no hi-speed access.) Recent innovations in this area allow for the reception of hi-speed (broadband) Internet reception via satellite; with establishment of local area networks (LANs) connected to each satellite point-of-delivery, the prospect exists for significant improvements to the information technology capacity of remote locations such as MBE, as well as local revenue generation from service provision once the LAN is established.

Strategic Plan 2012-2017 - Coasters Association (2012)
The Lower North Shore of Québec stretches from Blanc Sablon (at the Labrador border) to Kegaska (opposite the eastern tip of Anticosti Island). Sixteen (16) communities, including the two (2) native communities of Pakua Shipi and Uanamen Shipu, are spread along 400 kilometres of rugged coastline, and in most cases are accessible only by boat, plane or snowmobile (in winter). Due to the vastness and isolation of the region, transportation costs are extremely high and often unreliable due to extreme weather conditions. This remote region, which is majority English-speaking, has witnessed a significant decline in population over the last few decades due to the collapse of the region’s main economic activity (the cod & salmon fishery), and the decline in the snow crab fishery. It is estimated that approximately half of the region’s adult population leaves the Coast at some time during the year to secure employment elsewhere. Many leave the territory for several months at a time while their family remains on the Lower North Shore which results in social dislocation as, in some cases, both parents leave for work and their children are housed with grandparents or other family members. Many social challenges have emerged from the changing circumstances, such as caring for the elderly, and many youth leave and do not return due to the lack of job opportunities.

Forum for Youth Insights : Career and Education Orientations for the Post-COVID-19 World - Cohen, Eric (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2020)
The kids are (mostly) alright! That message was made loud and clear during a fascinating discussion when a group of passionate thinkers, educators, students, and speakers got together virtually on October 25, 2020, for Concordia University’s Forum for Youth Insights. An initiative of the Quebec English-Speaking Communities Research Network through its Inter-Level Educational Table, in collaboration with Youth 4 Youth Québec and the Black Community Resource Centre, this year’s forum had a special theme : Career and Education Orientations for the Post-COVID-19 World. In a nutshell, it was an opportunity for students to understand the new realities of the post-COVID-19 experience and how to navigate the sometimes confusing road ahead. Spoiler alert : We’re gonna be alright (but we need to recalibrate slightly).

Forum sur les perspectives jeunesse : orientations professionnelles et éducatives dans le monde post-COVID-19 - Cohen, Eric (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2020)
La jeunesse va (globalement) bien ! Ce message a été exprimé haut et fort lors d’une discussion captivante entre intellectuels, éducateurs, étudiants et conférenciers passionnés, qui s’est tenue virtuellement le 25 octobre 2020 dans le cadre du Forum sur les perspectives jeunesse de l’Université Concordia. L’événement a eu lieu à l’initiative du Réseau de recherche sur les communautés québécoises d’expression anglaise, par l’entremise de sa Table d’éducation interordres et en collaboration avec Youth 4 Youth Québec et le Centre de ressources de la communauté noire. Cette année, le forum avait un thème bien particulier : Orientations professionnelles et éducatives dans le monde post-COVID-19. En résumé, l’occasion a été donnée aux étudiants de saisir les nou- velles réalités de ce « monde d’après » afin qu’ils sachent comment s’engager sur la voie parfois déconcertante qui s’ouvre à eux. Alerte au divulgâcheur : tout va bien aller (mais il nous faudra procéder à quelques ajustements).

Résumé du mémoire législatif du Comité spécial sur le projet de loi no 96, Loi sur la langue officielle et commune du Qu(e)ébec, le français. - Comité Spécial sur la politique linguistique (2021)
Le Comité spécial sur la politique linguistique (« Comité spécial ») allègue que le projet de loi no 96 sur la modernisation de la Charte de la langue française redéfinit la structure juridique du Québec et du Canada de façon fondamentale et illégitime. Il établit la primauté de la langue française au-dessus de toute autre considération dans la pratique du droit et la gouvernance. Ce repositionnement linguistique est incompatible avec les droits individuels, la justice naturelle, les droits de la personne, les droits civils, l’unité nationale et la notion d’un Canada symétriquement bilingue.

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

Business Vitality Initiative : Community Handbook - Community Economic Development and Employability Corporation (CEDEC) (2010)
If you’re not asking these questions, it’s unlikely you’re maximizing the potential of your community. Communities identifying their strengths, their gaps and their unexplored opportunities— that is what’s behind the BVI, a measurement and action process that helps communities harness their business potential. It has been designed to help communities assess their capacity to work with and support entrepreneurs, and to foster business growth. The BVI has been employed in communities across Canada (and recently in Australia) by a team based in Nelson, BC. The CIEL/BVI Team has been nominated for BC’s top award in community economic development and most recently won an award as the region’s most innovative organization. The BVI measures the perceptions of community leaders, business people and citizens about the current business environment in the community and compares the scores to those from other communities using a unique graphical index (the Business Vitality Index).
