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.

French Immersion Teen Camp : Feasibility Study - Newcombe, Vanessa; Roberts, Carla; Griffin, Emily (Coasters Association, 2008)
Living in such an isolated area such as, the Lower North Shore, there is a lack of activities for all ages, but more so for the adolescent age. There are very few activities on the Lower North Shore that directly focuses on teenagers, so teens resort to other activities that result in social problems (i.e. drinking, drugs, vandalism, etc…). Therefore, a French Immersion Teen Camp would provide teenagers with activities and a program that is especially designed for them. Teenagers could have a chance to get away from the social problems and into a program that will nurture and develop a safe and healthy environment in which the teens can improve their health and obtain skills that will assist them in their future lives and also promote and develop their French as a Second Language skill.

From the time it was proposed in the late 19809s to shift the Quebec school system from a denominational model to a linguistic one, the English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) has consistently fought for freedom of religion and parental choice in religious instruction for people of all faiths. Time and again, the ESCC has defended these principles in its submissions to the National Assembly, the Commission for the Estates-General on Education, the Special Joint Committee of the House of Commons and the Senate, and most recently, the BouchardTaylor Commission on Reasonable Accommodation of Minorities.

The Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) has been in existence on a formal basis since 1995. Much has been accomplished in these past nine years. Looking to the future, there are many challenges which require our attention, strong leadership and innovative ideas to enrich our identity and resolve. It is imperative that the QCGN conrinue to buiid its credibility as a strong and unhesitating voice of reason in working to enhance the development of the English-speaking minority population in Quebec.

Ancestors : Life, Death, and Descendants of Quebec City's Anglophones - Morrin Centre (2008)
Quebec City’s cemeteries have lots to say about our ancestors and the past. They are places of remembrance for those close to the departed, but they are also a storehouse of memories for the whole community. Cemeteries are closely linked to religious belief : They express a particular vision of the world, a set of values and a culture.

Building the City : The Influence of English Speakers on Quebec City's Architecture - Morrin Centre (2008)
Quebec City is praised for its quintessential Frenchness, yet a closer look at its architecture reveals a city with a strong British influence. Ninety-five per cent of the city was built or modified after the British conquest in 1759. In the middle of the ninete nth century, half the people in the Upper Town were English speakers, and they left a clear mark on the built environment. Many of the city’s important landmarks, from the Château Frontenac to the Price Building, were designed by English-speaking architects.

Les ancêtres : vie, mort et descendance des anglophones de la ville de Québec - Morrin Centre (2008)
Les cimetières de la ville de Québec constituent une mine de renseignements précieuse à propos de nos ancêtres et du passé. Ils sont des lieux de mémoire, tant pour les proches des disparus que pour la collectivité. Étroitement liés à une religion, les cimetières sont l’expression tangible d’une vision du monde, d’un ensemble de valeurs, d’une culture.

Les bâtisseurs : l'influence anglophone sur l'architecture de Québec - Morrin Centre (2008)
Bien que l’on vante le caractère français de Québec, son architecture a subi une influence anglaise considérable : 95 % des édifices sont construits ou modifiés après 1759, suite à la Conquête. Au milieu du 19e siècle, la moitié des habitants de la Haute-Ville sont anglophones et leur présence marque le patrimoine bâti de la ville. De nombreux monuments caractéristiques de Québec, du Château Frontenac à l’édifice Price, sont conçus par des architectes anglophones.

Les gens du fleuve : la vie des anglophones sur les rives du Saint-Laurent - Morrin Centre (2008)
L’historien grec Hérodote disait de l’Égypte qu’elle était un « don du Nil » tant ce fleuve était important dans la vie des Égyptiens. De la même façon, on pourrait dire que Québec est un don du Saint-Laurent. Le Saint-Laurent était le « boulevard » des Autochtones, premiers habitants du territoire, avant de devenir la voie d’accès des explorateurs Français. Il est un facteur déterminant dans le choix de Samuel de Champlain d’établir une colonie à Québec, car il y voyait une route vers la Chine.

People of the River : Anglophone Life on the St. Lawrence - Morrin Centre (2008)
The Greek historian Herodotus summed up Egypt’s dependence on its great river by calling the country a “gift of the Nile.” In the same way, it could be said that Quebec is a gift of the St. Lawrence. The St. Lawrence was the “boulevard” of the territory’s first inhabitants, the Aboriginal people. Then it became the access route for French explorers. Samuel de Champlain thought it was a route to China, and this was a determining factor in his decision to found a colony at Quebec.

Explorer les effets de la langue comme obstacle à l’accès aux soins, à l’utilisation des services et au bien-être pour les familles anglophones du Québec - McGill Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology; CareLab
La langue a été nommée comme obstacle à l’accès et à l’utilisation des soins de santé pour les anglophones du Québec et pour une multitude d’autres minorités linguistiques partout dans le monde. Plus précisément, ces obstacles se manifestent par la difficulté d’accéder à un professionnel de la santé, par exemple pour prendre un rendez-vous dans la langue de son choix, le manque de choix quant aux traitements et services nécessaires, la difficulté à comprendre le plan de traitement et les résultats d’examens et le manque de services dans la langue de son choix lorsqu’on est orienté vers un spécialiste de la santé.

Postsecondary Education in the Minority Language : An Overview and Analysis of the Issues - Mariève, Forest; Deschênes-Thériault, Guillaume (Sociopol, 2021)
The advocacy efforts of Francophone minority communities (FMCs) that followed the adoption of the Official Languages Act (1969) and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (1982) led to the development and implementation of the provincial and territorial minority-language elementary and secondary school systems. In Quebec, the implementation of the Englishlanguage elementary and secondary school system did not meet with the same level of resistance as that faced by the French-language school systems in FMCs.

Du 3 au 5 novembre 2021, des chercheurs, des praticiens, des intervenants communautaires et des décideurs des quatre coins du Québec se sont réunis virtuellement à l’occasion d’un évènement de trois jours intitulé Forum sur l’éducation et la vitalité : Soutenir l’éducation des minorités de langue anglaise au Québec. Il s’agissait du deuxième forum organisé par la Table d’éducation interordres (ILET), un comité du Réseau de recherche sur les communautés québécoises d’expression anglaise (QUESCREN) de l’Université Concordia, et il avait pour objectif d’encourager la mobilisation en vue d’élaborer au Québec une offre d’enseignement en langue anglaise qui soit saine et viable et favorise la persévérance scolaire, l’accès à de bons emplois dans la province et un fort sentiment d’identité et d’appartenance. Le présent rapport donne une vue d’ensemble du Forum et des principaux messages à retenir.

Programme d’accès : aux services de santé et aux services sociaux en langue anglaise pour les personnes d’expression anglaise de la Capitale-Nationale : 2012-2015 - Laroche, Daniel; Blais, Sébasitien; Paquette, Brigitte (Centre intégré universitaire de santé et de services sociaux de la Capitale Nationale, 2016)
En décembre 2015, le ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux (MSSS) demandait au Centre intégré universitaire de santé et de service sociaux de la Capitale-Nationale de procéder à une mise à jour du Programme d’accès aux services de santé et aux services sociaux en langue anglaise pour les personnes d’expression anglaise 2012-2015 (programme d’accès) de leur région respective. Le dernier programme d’accès élaboré par l’Agence de la santé et des services sociaux de la Capitale- Nationale avait fait l’objet d’une approbation par le Ministère en 2012. La démarche de mise à jour vise un portrait actuel des services de santé et des services sociaux en langue anglaise considérant le contexte actuel de la réorganisation du réseau de la santé et des services sociaux entamé depuis l’adoption de la LMRSSS, Loi modifiant l’organisation et la gouvernance du réseau de la santé et des services sociaux notamment par l’abolition des agences régionales.

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.

Programme d’accès aux services de santé et aux services sociaux en langue anglaise pour les personnes d’expression anglaise : 2012-2015 - Labrecque, Edith; Paquette, Brigitte (Jeffery Hale - Saint Brigid's (JHSB), 2012)
En novembre 2010, le ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux (MSSS) demandait aux agences de procéder à la révision du programme d’accès aux services de santé et aux services sociaux en langue anglaise pour les personnes d’expression anglaise de leur région respective. Le dernier programme d’accès, élaboré par l’Agence de la santé et des services sociaux de la Capitale-Nationale, avait été approuvé par ce même ministère en décembre 2007. Conformément à la loi, ces programmes doivent être révisés tous les trois ans, ce qui implique la mise en place d’une démarche permettant d’assurer leur actualisation. Ce travail permet donc de revoir la situation prévalant actuellement dans la région à l’intention de la population d’expression anglaise, d’apporter les bonifications nécessaires afin de mieux répondre à leurs besoins, et ce, en matière d’accessibilité, de continuité, de complémentarité et de qualité dans les services offerts. Il implique nécessairement un grand nombre de partenaires provenant de divers établissements de la région.

A Rationale for Changing Bill 101 - La Commission des écoles catholiques de Montrèal (1979)
The adoption of three linguistic laws in less than ten years, under three different governments, testifies to numerous social and political changes experienced in Quebec since the onset of the quiet revolution. Bill 63, (1969), Bill 22, (1974) and, more recently Bill 101, (August 1977) attest to the rapid advancement of the Francophone community's demands re: language which are applicable to all of the residents of Quebec. For many this evolution exemplifies the need for self-assertion and identity long held in check by a system of social values which favored the introversion of the French Canadian collectivity thus keeping it aloof from the socio-economic mainstream of Canadian life in North America.

Did the Black Lives Matter Movement Help English-speaking Black Young Adults in Quebec Recover from the Damaging Psychological Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic? - Koestner, Richard; Holding, Anne C. (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2021)
The historic events of the spring of 2020—the collision of the worst public health crisis in a century and the largest Black civil rights movement in half a century—offer a unique opportunity to examine how the frustrations and hopes of English-speaking Black young adults were affected. We sought to understand the potentially competing impacts that the public health and social justice crises have had on the young adults in their communities. Quebec has the second largest Black population in Canada (after Ontario), with 27% of Canada’s total Black population. Quebec’s Black population has doubled in size in the past 20 years, with 325,000 people currently living here. This population is predominantly French speaking (80%), and it is concentrated in the Montreal metropolitan area (over 90%). The Black population tends to be younger than the Canadian average, and its members are more likely to be first-generation Canadians.

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.

Soutien en langue française pour les professionnelles et professionnels d'expression anglaise au Québec - Juste, Catherine-Laure (Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT), 2022)
La langue française peut représenter un obstacle pour les professionnelles et professionnels d’expression anglaise qui doivent exercer leur profession en respectant les politiques linguistiques en place. Malgré un haut niveau de bilinguisme parmi les Québécois·e·s d’expression anglaise, le français demeure une embuche pour certain∙e∙s. Ces personnes professionnelles bénéficieraient de formation linguistique additionnelle en lien avec leur métier. Non seulement la maîtrise du français est un prérequis pour se joindre aux ordres professionnels québécois, mais, dans certains cas, les personnes qui ne satisfont pas aux critères linguistiques doivent aussi passer un examen de français de l’Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF). En outre, les ordres professionnels peuvent demander à leurs membres de se soumettre, durant leur carrière, à des examens de compétences linguistiques en français.

Self-Employment and Employment in Quebec's English-speaking Cultural Communities and Visible Minorities : Prospects and Problems - Jedwab, Jack (Youth Employment Services (YES), 2006)
What are the principal barriers to self-employment and employment for members of Quebec’s English-speaking visible minorities and cultural communities? The question is considered in this report in view of the ongoing challenges that some members of English-speaking visible minorities and cultural communities face in the current economy. The specific aim is to improve our understanding of factors which prevent members of Quebec’s English-speaking visible minorities and cultural communities from achieving self-employment and employment goals.

The Importance of Resurrecting English-speaking Healthcare Services in Québec - Jackson-Cappuccino, Ella (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2021)
French is the first language of 71.2% of Quebecers. For the remaining 27.9%, communication outside of this language can be difficult, especially in regard to health care (Ouimet et. al 3).This is of concern as those who seek medical attention or health resources may not be provided adequate care given the linguistic barrier. Particularly, it is Québec’s Englishspeaking minority that is most affected by this issue (Ouimet et. al 3). Within this minority, there are still hundreds of thousands of English-speaking individuals who desire to seek health services in their first official language. The wish does not simply arise due to a lack of bilingualism. Evidence shows that in times of crisis - when individuals look to communicate a matter of importance - they most often revert to their mother tongue (Silver 686). Without resources designed to cater to the English-speaking population, the government subjects this linguistic minority group to unequal health care services.

Comprendre l’expérience des soins de longue durée des minorités de langue officielle au Canada : état des lieux - Hsu, Dre. Amy T; Ménard, Alixe; Scott, Mary (2022)
Les membres des communautés racisées et en situation minoritaire du Canada vivent souvent des disparités en matière de santé et de soins de santé. Dans le contexte de la pandémie de COVID-19, on a constaté que les personnes membres d’une minorité et les personnes racisées signalaient de moins bons résultats de santé et des barrières supplémentaires à l’accès aux soins de santé. Bien que l’on comprenne de plus en plus l’incidence de la COVID-19 sur les personnes vivant et travaillant dans des établissements de soins de longue durée (SLD) et dans d’autres établissements de soins collectifs, on a porté peu d’attention à l’examen des inégalités dans l’expérience des soins et des résultats liés aux soins auxquels font face les groupes en quête d’équité, y compris les communautés de langue officielle en situation minoritaire (CLOSM). Il est clair qu’il faut apporter des changements systémiques au sein du secteur des SLD; la pandémie, surtout au cours de ses deux premières vagues, a mis en lumière plusieurs problèmes préexistants dans ce secteur. Pour assurer des soins de grande qualité et équitables pour tous les Canadien(ne)s âgés, ces changements au niveau du système doivent être fondés sur des données probantes.

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 First English-speaking Community : Global Development Plan 2004-2009 - Grundy, Susan (Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN), 2003)
The English-speaking Community of Quebec (ESC) represents multiple communities that are diverse, multicultural and multiracial in nature. The Community includes English-speakers who choose to speak or use the English language, for example, for delivery of services. The Community also includes those citizens who identify with, or have an interest in, the English language. The first step taken by the Global Development Planning Steering Committee was to review the need for a Plan to revitalize the English-speaking Community of Quebec. Why are we doing this? Is a Global Development Plan necessary? What do we hope to achieve?

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.

Brief for Official Language Policy Review 2016 - English Language Arts Network (ELAN) (2016)
ELAN was conceived in November 2004 at the Quebec Arts Summit held in Montreal. More than 120 artists and other representatives of the English-speaking arts milieu, as well as government officials, came together to discuss ways to support artists and cultural workers in Quebec’s official language minority community (OLMC). With the support of sister organizations the Quebec Drama Federation (QDF), the Quebec Writers’ Federation (QWF), and the Association of English-Language Publishers of Quebec (AELAQ), ELAN was created to give a united voice to minority English-language artists of all backgrounds, working in all disciplines, and living in all regions of Quebec. Through networking events, a monthly email newsletter (ELANews), needs assessment surveys, and major projects such as the Arts Alive! Québec community festivals, ELAN has worked to bring Quebec artists closer together and spread their work far and wide.

ELAN is a meeting place for English-language artists and cultural workers of all disciplines from every region of Quebec, where they can share expertise and resources, build audiences and alliances, seek support, advocate for their interests, and make common cause with the Francophone arts community.

Comments on the Canada Media Fund's English Regional Production Policies by the English-language Arts Network of Quebec - English Language Arts Network (ELAN) (2009)
The Canadian Television Fund (CTF) has made the English-language regions synonymous with the official-language minority in Quebec. While regional policies overlap with official-language policies in many ways, they are each distinct and need to be addressed differently. The Official Languages Act gives the English-language minority in Quebec the same status as the French-language minority outside Quebec. However, the CTF has not recognized that the official-language minority community (OLMC) in Quebec has the same rights and legal status as the French-language minority outside Quebec. Thus, Montreal production is not given regional status for the BPE, nor is there a Quebec OLMC production fund similar to the production fund (FLPOQ) available to the French-language minority outside Quebec.

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.
