A Needs Assessment : Better Understanding the Current Situation of the Senior Population - Burke, Helena; Craig, Lisa; Richardson, Mary (Council for Magdalen Islanders (CAMI), 2017)
This needs assessment was conducted as part of a community development process in the English-speaking community of Grosse-Ile, on the Magdalen Islands, Quebec. It is part of the follow- up to a community portrait that was developed through a participatory process in early 2015. The process involved the mobilization and engagement of a number of local stakeholders as well as community residents who expressed their views on a number of different themes. One of the issues that was highlighted by community members as a concern, even a priority, was that of the aging population within the ESC, having access to few services and limited support for caregivers.

Une évaluation des besoins : mieux comprendre la situation actuelle des aînés - Burke, Helena; Craig, Lisa; Richardson, Mary (Council for Magdalen Islanders (CAMI), 2017)
Cette évaluation des besoins a été menée dans le cadre d’un processus de développement communautaire dans la communauté anglophone de Grosse-Île, aux Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Québec. Elle fait partie du suivi d’un portrait communautaire qui a été élaboré par le biais d’un processus participatif au début de 2015. Le processus a impliqué la mobilisation et l’engagement de plusieurs intervenants locaux ainsi que de résidents de la communauté qui ont exprimé leurs opinions sur un bon nombre de thèmes. L’un des enjeux qui a été souligné par les membres de la communauté comme une préoccupation, voire une priorité, était celui du vieillissement de la population au sein de la CAI, ayant peu de services et un soutien limité aux proches aidants.

Home Intervention Program for Parents of Pre-School Youngsters (HIPPY): An Efficacy Study - Butler-Kisber, Lynn; Kingsley, Joanne; Sklar, Sylvia (The Centre for Literacy of Quebec (CFL), 2009)
his study was originally commissioned by The Centre for Literacy of Quebec in fulfillment of the terms of HIPPY-Montreal's generous four-year start-up grant from the Fondation Lucie et André Chagnon. The Centre and its partners, the Salvation Army and Elizabeth House, felt that given the unique design and complexity of the HIPPY program, a qualitative study would generate more usable findings than would a solely quantitative one. The Fondation Lucie et André Chagnon had requested that any evaluation of the HIPPY-Montréal program include a quantitative component; so, in addition to their intensive observations of and interviews with HIPPY staff and families implementing the program, the researchers also administered Peabody tests to participating children. This final report on the efficacy of the program includes the results of the testing along with the findings from two years of study.

Bâtir des ponts : Perceptions et réalités à propos des communautés d'expression anglaise du Québec et leur relation avec le francais au Québec et le bilinguisme au Canada - Canada. Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages (2024)
Le Commissariat aux langues officielles (le Commissariat) a observé qu’au cours des dernières années, les communautés d’expression anglaise du Québec (CEAQ) se sont souvent retrouvées au coeur du discours et des débats publics dans la province. Des données tirées de sondages et du recensement révèlent qu’en général, les communautés anglophones de la province sont en grande partie bilingues et qu’elles valorisent la dualité linguistique du Canada, y compris la langue française. L’on ignore, toutefois, dans quelle mesure la population générale est consciente de ces faits à propos des CEAQ et le Commissariat souhaitait vérifier l’hypothèse selon laquelle des mythes problématiques persistent. Dans ce contexte, et compte tenu de la modernisation de la Loi sur les langues officielles par le gouvernement fédéral en 2023, qui reconnaît la nécessité de « favoriser l’existence d’un foyer francophone majoritaire dans un Québec où l’avenir du français est assuré », ce projet de recherche est l’occasion de faire la lumière sur la relation que les communautés d’expression anglaise du Québec entretiennent avec la langue française dans la province et le bilinguisme officiel au Canada dans son ensemble. Ce projet permet aussi d’explorer la possibilité que les membres de la minorité anglophone du Québec soient considérés comme des bâtisseurs de ponts, ou même comme des alliés de la promotion du français au Canada, en vue de développer un discours plus constructif qui illustre clairement leurs contributions et, au bout du compte, vient déconstruire certaines perceptions erronées.

Bien vieillir dans sa langue, sa culture et sa communauté : soutien d'institutions fédérales clés et portrait des aînés anglophones du Québec - Canada. Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages (2013)
Cette étude exploratoire a deux grands objectifs. Le premier consiste à décrire le soutien qu’accorde le gouvernement fédéral au moyen de politiques et de programmes s’adressant aux aînés en général et aux aînés anglophones et francophones issus des communautés de langue officielle en situation minoritaire (CLOSM). Le deuxième objectif vise à brosser un portrait de la situation des aînés anglophones du Québec à l’aide de données. Pour ce faire, l’étude pose les questions suivantes : Où vivent les aînés anglophones du Québec? Qui sont-ils? Qui s’occupe d’eux? À quels services ont-ils accès, et comment utilisent-ils ces services? Nous espérons que l’étude aidera les CLOSM (y compris le nouvel organisme Aînés Action Québec, le réseau de défense des aînés anglophones de la province), à chercher du soutien des institutions fédérales.

Building Bridges : Perceptions and Realities About the English-speaking Communities of Quebec and their Relationship with French in Quebec and Bilingualism in Canada - Canada. Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages (2024)
The Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages (the Office of the Commissioner) has observed that, in recent years, the English-speaking communities of Quebec (ESCQ) have been the focus of much public discourse and debate in the province. Survey and census data indicate that, overall, the ESCQ are highly bilingual and value Canada’s broader linguistic duality, including the French language. The extent to which the general population is aware of these facets of the ESCQ is not clear, however, and the Office of the Commissioner wished to test the hypothesis that problematic myths may persist. In light of this context and with the modernization of the Official Languages Act by the federal government in 2023, which recognizes the need to “advance the existence of a majority-French society in a Quebec where the future of French is assured,” this research project is an opportunity to shed light on the relationship that the ESCQ have with the French language in Quebec and official bilingualism in Canada as a whole. This is also an opportunity to explore how Quebec’s English-speaking minority can be considered as bridge-builders or even as a potential ally of the promotion of French in Canada as a whole, with a view to developing a more constructive discourse that better acknowledges their contributions and, ultimately, deconstructs certain misperceptions.

Modernisation de la Loi sur les langues officielles : Recommandations du commissaire aux langues officielles pour une loi actuelle, dynamique et robuste - Canada. Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages (2019)
Cinquante années se sont maintenant écoulées depuis l’adoption de la toute première Loi sur les langues officielles. Alors que nous célébrons les succès et les avancées depuis 1969, le moment est propice de mener une réflexion approfondie sur les besoins des Canadiens en matière de langues officielles et de s’interroger sur la justesse des outils qu’offre la Loi pour y répondre adéquatement. En plus des nombreux appels lancés par le commissaire pour une modernisation de la Loi, de multiples demandes ont été formulées d’un bout à l’autre du pays par les deux groupes linguistiques. Ces demandes témoignent du besoin pressant de réviser le cadre législatif existant ainsi que d’élaborer de nouveaux règlements, et ce, afin de répondre aux attentes et à la réalité de chacun. C’est pourquoi le commissaire propose une modernisation de la Loi fondée sur une vision holistique. En effet, la vision qu’il recommande va bien au-delà de modifications de nature législative et réglementaire. Il s’attend à ce que les modifications qui seront adoptées mènent à un changement de culture afin que la dualité linguistique puisse pleinement s’épanouir partout au Canada. Pour y arriver, le commissaire propose 18 recommandations, chapeautées par les trois piliers sur lesquels repose sa vision : une loi actuelle, dynamique et robuste.

Modernizing the Official Languages Act : The Commissioner of Official Languages' Recommendations for an Act that is Relevant, Dynamic and Strong - Canada. Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages (2019)
It has been 50 years since the first Official Languages Act was passed. While we celebrate the progress and many successes achieved since 1969, it is a good time to conduct and in-depth review of official languages needs and think about whether the tools offered by the Act meet those needs effectively. The Commissioner’s repeated calls to modernize the Act have been echoed across Canada by both language groups, highlighting the urgent need to review the current legislative framework and draft new regulations to meet the expectations and reflect the realities of all Canadians. The Commissioner is therefore recommending a holistic approach to modernizing the Act that goes well beyond legislative and regulatory change. To create a cultural shift so that linguistic duality can reach its full potential across Canada, he has made 18 recommendations under the three pillars of his vision for an Act that is relevant, dynamic, and strong.

It is also a tool to help communities and individuals covered by Part VII of the Act to better understand their rights under it. In addition, it serves as a complement to the Act itself, as interpreted by the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages.

In July 2017, the CHSSN submitted the present report to the Quebec Ministry of Health and Social Services inviting it to undertake consultations with key public institutions and community representatives with respect to the recommendations. The objective was to ensure that a proposal to Health Canada reflected the shared commitment of Quebec and its English-speaking communities to work in partnership to improve access to health and social services in English. In its reply to the CHSSN in October 2017 (Appendix), the Ministry supported the recommendations in accordance with comments reflecting the results of its consultations with the public institutions. To support Health Canada in its mandate to prepare a new Contribution Program, the sponsoring organizations of the twenty recognized community health and social services networks along with the CHSSN are submitting the present report and recommendations reflecting the continuity of results of the last federal contribution and emergence of new priorities for the period ahead.

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.

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.

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).

Portrait démographique des écoles anglophones du Québec : complexité, changements et enjeux communautaires - Ciamarra, Nadine; Lamarre, Patricia; Donovan, Patrick; O'Donnell, Lorraine (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2021)
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).

Représentation des anglophones à l'emploi dans les ministères de l'éducation du Québec et dans l'élaboration des programmes d'études - Ciamarra, Nadine; Lamarre, Patricia; Donovan, Patrick; O'Donnell, Lorraine (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2021)
Les anglophones sont depuis longtemps sous-représentés dans le secteur de la fonction publique du Québec (Cooper, Donovan et O’Donnell, 2019). En 2019, 506 des 53 570 employés réguliers (0,9 %) de la fonction publique au Québec étaient des anglophones, soit environ un dixième de leur proportion dans la population totale de la province. (Secrétariat du Conseil du trésor, 2019; Statistique Canada, 2017).

Representation of English-speakers in Quebec's Education Ministries and Curriculum Development - Ciamarra, Nadine; Lamarre, Patricia; Donovan, Patrick; O'Donnell, Lorraine (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2021)
There is a longstanding underrepresentation of English speakers in Quebec’s public sector (Cooper, Donovan, & O’Donnell, 2019). In 2019, 506 out of 53,570 regular employees (0.9%) in Quebec’s public service were Anglophones, roughly one tenth of their proportion in the total population of the province (Secrétariat du Conseil du trésor, 2019; Statistics Canada, 2017).

The Demography of Quebec's English-language Schools: Complexity, Changes, and Community Issues - Ciamarra, Nadine; Lamarre, Patricia; Donovan, Patrick; O'Donnell, Lorraine (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2021)
The definition of English-speaking Quebecers is complex, evolving, and varies according to different political stakes and jurisdictions. The narrowest definition limits the population to those with English as their sole mother tongue. The broadest definition includes non-native speakers who use English with greater or equal frequency than French (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.

It provides a snapshot of the current state of wellbeing on the Lower North Shore based on selected indicators. Along with other measurements, these indicators form a baseline in which the success of the CWI can be assessed. They show where we are making progress, where we are falling behind, and what we can do - both as a region and as individuals - to improve quality of life.

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.
