Statement on Bill 21 : An Act Respecting the Laicity of the State - The English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) (2009)
The English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) was founded in 1981 with the mission to act as a catalyst, convener and facilitator of collective action for the English-speaking Catholic community of Quebec. As an organization inspired by Catholic social teaching, the Council is concerned for the common good and is apprehensive as to the implications of Bill 21 (An Act respecting the laicity of the State) for the social and civic welfare of Quebec society. In the main, the objections the Council have regarding the current legislation are similar to those we expressed in our 2013 brief on Bill 60 (Charter affirming the values of State secularism and religious neutrality and of equality between women and men, and providing a framework for accommodation requests)1 However, there are a number of critical differences between the 2013 legislation and that introduced in 2019.

Submitted to the Select Committee on Dying with Dignity - The English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) (2010)
In 1980, a group of individuals who represented various sectors of the English-speaking Catholic community and its organizations met with the idea of consolidating our human and material resources for the development of our community. This led to the formation in 1981 of the English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) with a mandate to act as a focal point in coordinating the English-speaking Catholic community of Greater Montreal. Over the years, the ESCC has assumed a higher profile which now extends throughout the Province and beyond. Inspired by the contemporary Catholic understanding of the role of the laity in the modern world, the English Speaking Catholic Council assists in the promotion of its community’s values and advocates those values in the resolution of issues affecting this community. The Board of Directors is made up of women and men from both the private and public sectors, all volunteers, who come together with a commitment to support their community in education, health and social services, community animation, culture and social justice.

The findings from several consultations further validated these gaps. A comprehensive list of recommendations is included along with next steps as a continuation to advance Black human rights in Montreal, and elsewhere, along with the support of government and non-government actors.

A Brief on School Board Elections Systems - The Rights and Education Committee of the Quebec Federation of Home and School Associations (Quebec Federation of Home and School Associations (QFHSA), 2015)
Due to the importance of elected English school boards to the English-speaking community, in 2014 the Québec Federation of Home and School Associations Inc. (QFHSA) decided to get involved in promoting school board elections. The Rights, Education and Resolutions Committee (RER) was mandated to produce a Special Bulletin on School Board Elections, which would include contributions from the Québec English School Board Association (QESBA), the Québec Community Groups Network (QCGN), out-going School Board Commissioners as well as a QFHSA Brief on School Board Elections Systems message from our own president, Lawrence DePoe. Included in the bulletin would be information on returning officers and how to get on the right voters list. The intention was to provide as much information as possible to parents to boost voter turnout at the polls. This information would be of benefit to Home and School parents and the general public. Forty thousand (40,000) copies of the Special Bulletin were printed and distributed to all English public schools in Quebec, with assistance from QESBA through their internal mail system. Consensus at the QFHSA Board of Directors’ as well as within the QFHSA Rights Education and Resolutions and Editorial Committees’, was that the future of school boards in Québec was at stake, and this justified the special effort.

Black Communities Speak Out About Violence - Tichit, Laurence; Jaccoud, Mylène (Black Community Resource Centre (BCRC), 2009)
This project was an initiative of six Black community organizations in Montreal concerned with the problem of violence. It was designed to unfold in three consecutive phases: 1) establish a subject overview by conducting focus groups with members of Montreal's Black communities, 2) organize a roundtable discussion with key people involved in the issue, and 3) develop an intervention plan. This report examines each of these phases which were aimed at defining the bases for mobilization and presenting possible strategies to address the issue of violence within the Black communities.

Bill 21 : An Act Respecting the Laicity of the State - Townshippers' Association (2019)
Following careful consideration of the proposed changes to existing legislation put forth in Bill 21, Townshippers’ Association is compelled to react and highlight issues and concerns as they may apply to Quebec’s diverse English-speaking minority language communities; it is our considered opinion that Bill 21 is not a measure that will enhance the values and personal freedoms already enshrined in both the Canadian and Quebec Charters of Rights and Freedoms. The adoption of this bill and the application of Section 33 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as a work around against any potential charter challenges will only serve to deepen divisions among Quebec residents and increase the isolation of minorities.

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.

Bill N°40 : An Act to Amend Mainly the Education Act With Regard to School Organization and Governance - Townshippers' Association (2019)
For 40 years now 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 approximately 40,000 English-speakers who are spread across a region that is larger than Belgium in its geography; 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. As indicated in the past in briefs submitted by the association during previous public commission debates around school boards and their governance, Townshipper’s Association fully supports the position that parents, education professionals and community members need to have a greater voice in the governance of schools and the services they provide to both students and the community.

[Projet de loi n° 40 : Loi modifiant principalement la Loi sur l’instruction publique relativement à l’organisation et à la gouvernance scolaires] - Townshippers' Association (2019)
Depuis 40 ans, l’Association des Townshippers est à l’avant-garde de l’engagement communautaire et poursuit sa mission qui est de promouvoir les intérêts de la communauté d’expression anglaise des Cantons-de-l'Est historiques du Québec, de renforcer son identité culturelle et d’encourager la participation pleine et entière des anglophones à la collectivité dans son ensemble. Nous agissons pour le compte des quelque 40 000 anglophones répartis dans une région plus vaste que la Belgique, qui s’étend de Philipsburg à l’ouest à Lac-Mégantic à l’est, et d’Inverness au nord à la frontière des États-Unis au sud. Tel que mentionné dans le passé dans les mémoires soumis par l’association lors des audiences publiques des commissions précédentes sur les commissions scolaires et leur gouvernance, l’Association des Townshippers soutient pleinement la position selon laquelle les parents, les professionnels de l’éducation et les membres de la communauté doivent pouvoir faire entendre leur voix dans la gouvernance des écoles et les services qu’elles fournissent aux élèves et à la communauté.

The Official Languages Reform Project - Townshippers' Association (2021)

Anyone at any point can become a caregiver, whether it is unexpected or planner, and so the task may come about as a response to a heart-felt need or simply as the days pass. However, this means that you may offer help to a loved one without taking time to evaluate the impact it will have on your life and without realizing that your life can be completely altered.

Brief Regarding the General Consultation and Public Hearings on Bill 14 : An Act to Amend the Charter of the French Language, the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms and Other Legislative Provisions - Voice of English-speaking Quebec (VEQ) (2013)
The purpose of this brief is to highlight the potential impacts that the proposed Bill 14 could have on the minority English-speaking community of the Greater Quebec City region. As the preeminent interest group representing English-speakers in the Quebec City region, VEQ has carefully analyzed all the modifications included in the proposed Bill 14 and has consulted its membership, community and many of its key partners in order to present this comprehensive evaluation of the impacts that Bill 14 could have on our community. It is our opinion that Bill 14, if adopted in its present form, will have several negative consequences on the vitality of our community and on the capacity of English speakers to continue to be contributing citizens of our region. In addition, we sincerely believe that Bill 14 will also have a real negative impact on the capacity of our entire region to attract and retain English-speaking immigrants and migrants which will directly affect the economic prosperity of the Quebec City region.

Report on Youth Employability in the Greater Quebec City Region - Voice of English-speaking Quebec (VEQ) (2020)
In the winter of 2019-2020, we conducted a survey of English-speaking youth aged 15 to 29 as well as six focus groups at the English high schools in the region to support two projects related to youth employability. Through our needs analysis, we sought to evaluate youth knowledge and/or use of the services offered by the Carrefour jeunesse-emploi centres as well as to gain some insights into the postsecondary education and career plans of the students at the local English high schools. These results are meant to provide a snapshot of the perspectives of Englishspeaking youth on employment in the Greater Quebec City region at this time. Though small in scope and sample size (53 survey participants, 32 focus group participants), this study captures the very real hopes and frustrations of our minority population. At the same time, it also proposes some very concrete and achievable outcomes. We hope that this document can serve as a springboard for employers and service providers to work with us, and members of our community, to increase the employability of English-speaking youth in the Greater Quebec City region. Let’s build a better future for all Québécois.

A Study of Recruitment and Retention Factors Affecting Immigrants, and Anglophone Newcomers in the Quebec City Region - Voice of English-speaking Quebec (VEQ); Conférence régionale des élus de la Capitale-Nationale (2009)
This study focuses on the trends and community-based responses to in-migration in the Quebec City region. It is specifically concerned with issues pertaining to the local English-speaking community, a group that is vested with the legal and political designation of official language minority community by the federal government of Canada. The issue of in-migration is multifaceted and multidisciplinary. To wade into debates on the patterns and effects of migration over a given territory requires a significant amount of background knowledge from a number of different sources. Moreover, to consider the proper policy responses to migratory patterns, we must pay attention to wider political, sociological, and economic conditions that shape how individuals make decisions, such as why they move to a particular region, how long to stay and when to leave.

The Holland Centre Experience : A Community Development Model for Minorities - Walling, Richard (Holland Resources Development Corporation, 2021)
The Holland Centre is a partnership of four public organisations and one private non-profit community organisation that has been successful in creating culturally-appropriate health and social services for a minority community in the province of Quebec, Canada. In June 1999 the J.W. McConnell Foundation awarded a grant to the Holland Centre that allowed it the time and resources necessary to analyse the elements of the centre’s success and develop the tools necessary to assist other linguistic minority communities to develop essential services.

Quebec Demographic Study : Final Report The First Official Language Spoken - English Population Age Structure and Mobility Submitted to Mr. Léon Jackson, Executive Director Voice of English Quebec - Warnke, Jan (Voice of English-speaking Quebec (VEQ), 1997)
The principal objective of the Quebec Demographic Study is to provide a general description of the English-speaking population (First Official Language Spoken-English or FOLS-English population) in Quebec. The study was initiated in response to the need for information about the English-speaking community in Quebec. This need was voiced by organisations and individuals in the English-speaking communities across Quebec. The results of the study will be integrated into a growing database of geographically referenced information. This information will serve as an information support system for decisions concerning the provision of health services, social services and the planning and organising of community development.

Artcast Pilot Project : Compendium Version 1.0 - Webster, Daniel; Goddard, James; Jestin, Rio Victoria (English-Language Arts Network (ELAN), 2021)
The English Language Arts Network (ELAN) has been investing in providing solutions that help Quebec artists increase the value of their work on digital platforms. The ARTS2U project began in 2018 as a way for artists to achieve increased findability and discovery in the digital realm. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, ARTS2U project began including live broadcast events to arts event listings as of July 2020. The ARTSCAST Pilot Project addresses in depth details regarding inclusion and added value to live broadcasts to ARTS2U. In August and September of 2020, the ARTSCAST Pilot Project worked to add value to artist created digital media productions and packages. A series of nine events was assembled to test and document the potential to derive higher value and additional revenue streams. The events took place in multiple venues, featured multiple artists and disciplines and used a range of streaming technologies.

A Posthumous Honour for a Conspicuous Life : Dr. Gaspard in Quebec - Williams, Dorothy (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2020)
This story is an attempt to understand an unknown individual whose life was significant but has now been forgotten. He was American-born, yet his mother tongue was French. He served Canada in French units but embraced the English-speaking Black community once in Montreal. His life speaks of a complexity of language not often explored in narratives of Quebec’s English-speaking community, particularly in those histories about Blacks in the province. I trust this will be the beginning.

They “Could Care for Our Elderly in Our Homes” : The Historical Impact of Black Caregivers - Williams, Dorothy W. (Working Paper, 2023)
My aim is to interrogate prevalent assumptions about health and social services through a survey of notable chapters in the history of Black caregiving in Quebec. The assumptions have created expectations and a false narrative built upon historical myths and erasures that undergird the provincial population’s understanding of its relationship with Black caregivers. Blacks, both Francophone and Anglophone, though not exclusively so, have had significant connection to the care and well-being of Quebec’s residents. Black caregiving in Quebec is not recent—indeed, Black caregivers have been intimately tied to Quebec’s labour force aspirations and development for centuries. Even so, it is rarely acknowledged, to the point of being virtually unknown. This paper seeks to address those gaps in the narrative by presenting a timeline dating back to the 17th century. It will reveal intricate connections between the different periods when it comes to segregation, prejudice, migration, immigration quotas, and bans.

Gender-based Approach to Women in Technology Project: Women in Technology : Final Report - Wood, Andrea (2013)
This paper represents the research component of a larger project focusing on “women in technology”, an initiative launched by YES Montreal in autumn 2012. The project strives to build capacity in Montreal’s technology sector by applying a gender-based analysis in the advocacy of women’s career development in the technology sector. The research will support the delivery of programs focusing on the development, implementation and evaluation of women’s careers in technology over a 3-year period, between 2013 and 2015.

Women in Technology - Wood, Andrea (Youth Employment Services (YES), 2013)
This paper represents the research component of a larger project focusing on “women in technology”, an initiative launched by YES Montreal in autumn 2012. The project strives to build capacity in Montreal’s technology sector by applying a gender-based analysis in the advocacy of women’s career development in the technology sector. The research will support the delivery of programs focusing on the development, implementation and evaluation of women’s careers in technology over a 3-year period, between 2013 and 2015. The Montreal technology sector faces a pipeline issue. This report aims to improve the understanding of the factors influencing the technology sector’s lifecycle, from elements impacting early technology education through career development. Predominantly, the research addresses the issues that prevent women in Quebec’s technology sector from achieving their goals. In order to elaborate upon the issues and opportunities, the study relies on two forms of research: secondary research conducted by experts in the field, and primary data collected through surveys, focus groups and interviews.
