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.

Story of the Coasters Association : Celebrating 25 Years May 1988 - May 2013 - Coasters Association (2014)
The Coasters Association is a non-profit organization formed in St. Augustine in 1988 by a group of concerned citizens of the Lower North Shore. (refer to Annex 1 - Steering Committee) The association was incorporated in La Tabatiere in 1991. It is administered by an elected, volunteer, Board of Directors, with representatives from 5 municipalities and four designated seats (youth, seniors, disabled and education). (refer to Annex 2 – Board of Directors) The Association’s work is mainly funded by the Ministry of Canadian Heritage, while the remainder of its funding is received from other government departments (i.e.: federal, provincial, municipal, and local), as well as fundraising, donations and membership drives. The Coasters Association’s membership stands at 3,542 and with each new member, the Association becomes stronger!

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).

Comité des usagers : Rapport annuel 2021-22 - Comité des usagers Jeffery Hale - Saint-Brigid’s (Jeffery Hale - Saint Brigids (JHSB), 2022)
Le Comité des usagers Jeffery-Hale-Saint-Brigid’s s’est réuni à dix (10) reprises entre le mois d’avril 2021 et mars 2022, avec une réunion générale annuelle le 7 juin 2021, par la plateforme ZOOM. Il n’y a pas eu de séances en présentiel, compte tenu de la pandémie COVID-19. Parmi les principaux défis pour le comité, en raison de cette situation d’urgence sanitaire, il y avait la difficulté à apporter un soutien significatif au personnel dans les deux établissements, l’accès restreint aux résidents et leurs familles, la difficulté de recruter de nouveaux membres pour les comités ainsi que de planifier et mettre en œuvre des programmes.

Sondage auprés des pères québécois : rapport préliminaire - Comité régional en santé et bien-être des hommes (2021)
Le Pôle d'expertise et de recherche en santé et bien-être des hommes (PERSBEH) et le Regroupement provincial en santé et bien-être des hommes (RPSBEH) veulent comprendre de quelle manière la situation sanitaire actuelle a influencé la demande d'aide des pères et les difficultés vécues par ceux-ci et déterminer les stratégies à mettre en place pour amèliorer l'offre de services de santé et de services sociaux pour s'adapter au contexte actuel. L'objectif principal de l'étude est de transmettre aux milieux de pratique, communautaire et institutionnel, des informations très concrètes leur permettant d'adapter leaur offre. Le présent rapport a été réalisé à partit d'un sous-échantillon de ce sondage composé des 622 parents d'enfants de moins de 18 ans ayant répondu au sondage, afin de jeter un regard plus spécifique sur les enjeaux des pères.

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).

In winter 2007, the CHSSN carried out a pilot project in conjunction with Townshippers’ Association to disseminate community health information via community radio to test the efficacy of using this medium to extend the outreach of the Network Partnership Initiative (NPI). Two call-in shows -- Dependencies and Mental Health -- were broadcast by CJMQ-FM in Lennoxville, and an edited recording of the show on Dependencies was re-broadcast on CJAS in St-Augustin. Based on the success of the 2007 pilot, for winter 2008 the community radio project was expanded to include more regions, a wider range of informational programming and Internet dissemination.
