Bill 96, an Act Respecting French, the Official and Common Language of Québec - Townshippers' Association (2021)
Following careful consideration of the proposed changes to existing legislation put forth in Bill 96, Townshippers’ Association is compelled by its mandate to advocate on behalf of the English-speaking community in the historical Eastern Townships to react and raise concerns as they may apply to the diverse communities in our region. While in full agreement that the protection and promotion of the French language and culture is imperative to preserving Quebec’s unique character, the Board of Directors of Townshippers’ Association deplores the government’s attempts to achieve this through an omnibus piece of legislation and its sweeping use of the notwithstanding clause. It is our considered opinion that Bill 96 is not so much a measure designed to raise the status of French within the province and work against its perceived decline in the public sphere, but one aimed at achieving a certain level of social control over the access to, the use, and overall presence of, English within Quebec.

Prioriser la diversité des élèves du système scolaire québécois - Advisory Board on English Education (2021)
La CELA ayant déjà formulé des conseils sur l’inclusion en classe et sur l’éducation des Autochtones dans des mémoires antérieurs à l’intention du ministre, ces deux volets ne seront pas abordés directement ici. Il sera plutôt question de la discrimination et de ses effets, ainsi que de la promotion de l’inclusion en milieu scolaire, dans les programmes d’études, au regard de la réussite des élèves et dans la formation du personnel enseignant. Les études que nous avons consultées portent en grande partie sur le racisme. Certes, le racisme est une question particulière, mais on sait que les mentalités à l’origine des comportements racistes entraînent souvent aussi la discrimination à l’égard de « l’autre », quel qu’il soit, et que les stratégies correctives sont souvent similaires.

Prioritizing Student Diversity in Québec’s Education System - Advisory Board on English Education (2021)
In previous briefs to the Minister, the Advisory Board on English Education (ABEE) has given advice on inclusion in the classroom and on Indigenous education, so this brief will not address these two issues directly. It will, instead, consider the impact of discrimination and the promotion of inclusion in the school environment, the curriculum, student achievement, and teacher education. Much of the research we have identified relates to racism, and there are certainly issues specific to racist behaviour, but we recognize that the mindset that causes racist behaviour often causes discrimination against “others” of all sorts and that the remediating strategies are often similar.

Diversity and Inclusion in Québec's Nonprofit Sector - Lopes-Luchak, Milla (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2021)
Insufficient diversity and inclusion within the nonprofit sector is a longstanding issue facing organizations across Québec, and Canada more generally. At present, the nonprofit volunteer and workforce do not adequately reflect the diversity of the province’s population. Minority communities do not see themselves represented and a lack of participation excludes their lived experiences from the decision making process. There are several actions that organizations can take in pursuit of creating more heterogeneous teams that invite meaningful participation; each of which requires commitment at all levels of governance in a nonprofit.

Brief Presented to The House of Common Standing Senate Committee on Official Languages Submitted by the Quebec English School Boards Association - Quebec English School Boards Association (2021)
The Quebec English School Boards Association was founded in 1929. The role of the association is to represent the nine English school boards of Québec as well as the Littoral School Board, a special status school board. Our member boards cover the full geographic territory of Québec with some board territories covering more than 400,000 square kilometres, equal to the land area of Spain. Our board student enrolments range from 1,300 (Eastern Shores in the Gaspé region) to more than 25,000 for each of the 2 boards serving the Island of Montr al. Our network is comprised of about 340 schools and adult centres, some with enrolment well below 100 to as many as 2,000. Our boards serve the youth sector from Kindergarten to Secondary V (grade 11). They also deliver Adult Education and Vocational Training. Some of our boards offer pre-kindergarten programs to 4-year-old children and the Adult and Vocational sectors cater to students 16 years of age and older. All told there are approximately 100,000 students in the minority-language English public school system.

COVID-19 Survey Report II - Literacy Quebec (LQ) (2021)
While the pandemic has forced a lot of swift changes, the majority of Literacy Quebec's member organizations have been able to adapt. In fact, 8 out of 9 respondents claimed to have successfully transitioned at least some of their programs and services online. However, while most organizations were able to move to some type of online- learning model, a select few reported having no available tutors/volunteers. Some of the reasons ranged from a lack of interest (i.e. volunteers originally signed up to interact with others in person), or a lack of confidence in using technology.

Political Engagement of Indigenous Youth in Québec - Lopes-Luchak, Milla (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2021)
According to the 2016 census, 1.2% of Québec’s population is indigenous (Page 2017) and 27.3% of that population is between 15 and 34, or the youth (Statistics Canada 2017). So far, Québec has had two indigenous members of government and there are none occupying official chairs nowadays (National Assembly of Québec). There is an issue of underrepresentation that affects the present and future of indigenous youth.

Factors in the Regional Retention of Graduates from Health and Social Services Program : Results of the 2019 and 2020 Surveys of Health and Social Services Career Program Students at English Colleges in Quebec - Crossland, Constance; Brown, Douglas (John Abbott College, 2021)
Providing health care and social services to the English-speaking population of Quebec in English is a responsibility of the Quebec Government. Le Secrétariat aux relations avec les Québécois d’expression anglaise engaged Dialogue McGill, a part of the Institute for Health and Social Policy at McGill University, to look for ways to improve access to these services, as well to increase the retention of graduates of relevant programs at English Colleges in Quebec. Dialogue McGill contracted John Abbott College to carry out research on opinions of current students to determine their plans for location of work once they complete their studies, the reasons that influenced their choice of where to locate after graduation and the factors that could persuade them to work in a region of Quebec outside of the Census Metropolitan Area of Montreal (Montreal CMA). Work on fulfilling this contract began in 2017. It had various stages and involved the efforts of a number of people. This report only deals with the final stage, which was to survey students in various health and social career programs at English Colleges in Quebec over a two-year period.

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.

Youth Volunteer Retention in Québec - Lopes-Luchak, Milla (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2021)
Volunteers are major contributors to nonprofit organizations in Québec and across Canada. Despite their contributions, studies reveal that volunteer retention is an aspect that remains neglected (Merrilees, Miller & Yakimova, 2020). There are many reasons why people give their time and remain in the same nonprofit. Consequently, there is no individual factor that guarantees retention; it differs depending on age group, gender, socio-economic background, area of volunteerism, etc. Improving retention is in the best interest of nonprofits. Although youth are the age group that volunteer the most (according to Volunteers Canada), Québec is the province with the lowest rate (as stated by statcan) and has much to learn from the rest of the country.

Preliminary Analysis of Bill C-13, An Act for the Substantive Equality of Canada's Official Languages - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2021)
Like Bill C-32, the Bill retains the same overall purposes and structure of the OLA. As with Bill C-32, the Bill sets out several new Preamble clauses, additions to the OLA’s purpose clause, and new interpretive clauses. These are all largely the same as Bill C-32, although the Bill adds a few additional clauses. In the discussion below, there is no change from C-32 except where otherwise indicated. The Bill adds the following policy priorities to the OLA: First, the protection and promotion of the French language; second, the addition of new interpretive clauses; third, the continued recognition of English and French linguistic minority communities (OLMC’s); third, the recognition of provincial language regimes including the Charter of the French Language. Finally, the Bill adds additional mention of Indigenous languages and a mention that the OLA applies in emergencies

The Government of Canada’s paper on official language reform captures important demands made by the English-speaking community of Quebec during consultative processes related to the modernization of the Official Languages Act. There is reason for optimism around proposals for an expanded role of Treasury Board and power of the Commissioner of Official Languages in the implementation of the Act. And there are opportunities for increased support to our community’s institutions and provisions for more transparency on federal transfers directed towards our vitality; proposals that are tempered by the need for provincial cooperation.

QCGN Analysis of Quebec's Five Orientations to Modernize Canada's OfficialLanguages Act - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2021)
Quebec’s proposal belies a fundamental misunderstanding of the history, purpose, and application of the OLA. It takes direct aim at the division of powers contained in the Constitution Act, 1867, seeking to extend Quebec’s legislative jurisdiction. The Government of Quebec is demanding exclusive authority to act in matters of language, “on its territory”. This poses an existential threat to the official language rights of all Canadians, French and English.

For more than 40 years 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 more than 40, 000 English-speakers who are spread across a region that is geographically larger than Belgium; 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. This brief will provide essential information regarding factors affecting Official Language Minority Community vitality; recent statistics describing the situation of English-speakers in the Historical Eastern Townships (HET), including preliminary data showing the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic; and conclude with recommendations for consideration in the development of a new federal budget.

2021 Community Vitality Survey : Black in Quebec - Black Community Resource Centre (BCRC) (2021)
This report offers a comprehensive overview of the 2021 Community Vitality Survey which was conducted by the Black in Quebec project team. Black in Quebec was launched in Fall 2019 and was a research project by the Black Community Resource Centre (BCRC) which researched the well-being and vitality of Quebec's English-speaking Black Community (ESBC). This is the third report to be released by the project team and complements the two previous research based publications. The first published report was Quebec's English-speaking Black Community: An Analysis of Outcomes and Information Gaps which was based on an assessment of currently available information pertaining to the English-speaking Black Community in Quebec. The second report to be released was entitled Black in Quebec presents: In Focus and it presented an overview of the Focus Groups conducted by the project team from May to December of 2020. This report focuses exclusively on the 2021 Community Vitality Survey which was conducted from April to June 2021 and provides a detailed overview of the survey. It is the last research based report to be released by the Black in Quebec project before the release of a final, comprehensive project summary report.

Black in Quebec : Summary Report 2020-2021 - Black Community Resource Centre (BCRC) (2021)
In Quebec, there is a population of around 320,000 people who identify as members of the Black community. In Quebec's Black community, just under 60,000 (around 1 in 5 people) are categorized as members of the English-speaking community (Statistics Canada, 2016). The Black in Quebec Project commenced in Fall 2019 with the drafting of the project and in February 2020, the Project Researcher (John Davids) and Research Assistant (Xiaoyan Fang) were hired by the BCRC. The purpose of the project is to fill the gaps in the knowledge about the English-speaking Black Community (ESBC) in Quebec. In Quebec and Canada, there is a lack of disaggregated race-base data that measures critical variables describing the socio-economic and psycho-social status of the English-speaking Black Community. Thus, when it came to exploring the state and vitality of the ESBC, there were and continues to be deficiencies in the publicly available data and knowledge. Being a study about a population that is both a racialized and linguistic minority in Quebec, the Black in Quebec Project attempts to fill some of the gaps in the collection of data, its analysis and storage. It presents an improved understanding regarding the unique situation and challenges facing the ESBC in Quebec.

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).
