The French language is one of the world’s major languages. According to L’Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF), at least 220 million people in the world speak French. It’s the official language of all United Nations agencies and a large number of international organizations. The language originated in France and spread by way of the country’s overseas expansion. Today, some 30 countries in the world, including Canada, have recognized French as an official language.

Opportunities & Obstacles Facing English-Speaking Newcomers Launching Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Quebec - Association for Canadian Studies (2017)
The objective of this research study is to identify the key barriers and opportunities that English-speaking newcomers face when launching or planning to launch small to medium enterprises (SMEs) in Quebec. We intend to use the information gathered by this study to assist policy makers and entrepreneurship service providers in supporting newcomers (recent immigrants who arrived in the past five years) in the creation and growth of SMEs, leading to a stronger entrepreneurial society and economy in Quebec.

Report on the Proceedings of the Advancing Women in STEM Community Leaders Forum & Strategic Recommendations - Association for Canadian Studies (ACS) (Youth Employment Services (YES), 2018)
YES Montreal is currently leading one of 20 initiatives funded by Status of Women to advance gender equality in Canada. Advancing Women in STEM is a three-year grant project (2017-2020) that aims to address and identify solutions to a number of systemic challenges hindering women’s retention and access to leadership positions within the STEM industry. This initiative follows from two previous ones; in the inaugural project (2012-2015), YES conducted three annual gender-based analyses of Quebec’s technology sector and in the second project (2015-2017) developed a tailored mentorship model for women in Montreal’s STEM industry. The overarching goal of the Advancing Women in STEM project is to create systemic change within STEM companies by shifting institutional practices to promote inclusivity and leadership opportunities for women. Successfully achieving this goal is dependent on the collaboration and support of industry and community leaders, particularly the project’s advisory committee that consists of fifteen outstanding women leaders who are highly engaged in this initiative and its outcomes.

The human social system is a complex adaptive system. It consists of a network of live and non-live agents interacting and responding to continuous change in the agents and system itself: a change I any agent causes other agents to change. This causes the system to change, which causes further changes in agents, and the process continues infinitely.

Community Education and Development : Perspectives on Employment, Employability and Development of English-Speaking Black Minority of Quebec - Bayne, Clarence S (Collaborative Unity and Existential Responsibility, 2019)
On December 7, 2018, the Black Community Forum of Montreal held a conference on “Community Education and Development: perspectives on English-Speaking Blacks and Other Minorities”. The IJCDMS Journal has selected a number of the conference papers for publication in its Special Conference Series: “Collaborative Unity and Existential Responsibility.” This article serves as an overview to the conference; and provides a theoretical framework against which the reader can derive a better understanding of those papers. It allows the reader to reflect meaningfully on the optimality of the decision search rules adopted by various cultural subgroups, by comparing them to the behaviors of successful agent types in the computer simulated studies discussed in this paper. The targeted cultural sub-populations are the English-Speaking Blacks in Montreal.

Soon after its Spring 2014 election victory, the new government announced a series of austerity measures designed to meet an election promise of a balanced budget by the end of the following fiscal year. Institution by institution was hit with news of budget cuts over the course of the following months, and in November 2014, the Education Minister announced his plan to “slash 50 per cent of school boards,” as one media outlet reported it. 1 According to the government, centralization of school boards would put “millions” back into provincial coffers without affecting the quality of education offered by the school boards; the Education Minister would see the number of French school boards drop from 60 to 36, and the number of English ones drop from 9 to 7.

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.

Black in Quebec (BIQ) is a research project being undertaken by the Black Community Resource Center (BCRC), a non-profit organization founded in 1995, which serves Montreal’s English-speaking Black Community (ESBC) by providing individuals with services and information that they need. The BIQ project seeks to answer the Research Question: What is the relative well-being of the English-speaking Black community in Quebec? The relatively unique positioning of the ESBC in the Quebec landscape, being both a visible minority and linguistic minority group, necessitates that research be conducted to further understanding of the experiences and situations facing this community, which are particular to the group or shared more widely across society. The overall vision of this project is to consolidate the collection and dissemination of data that pertains to Quebec’s English-speaking Black community and share this information across a variety of institutions, including Black community organizations, public institutions, and social research groups.

Au Québec, la communauté noire et la communauté d'expression anglaise occupent toutes deux des positions relativement précaires sur le plan économique et de l'emploi : toutes deux connaissent des taux de chômage supérieurs à la moyenne et gagnent des revenus médians après impôt inférieurs à ceux de la population totale de la province. La communauté noire d'expression anglaise (CNEA) se trouve à l'intersection de ces deux communautés et subit la double marginalisation d'être à la fois une minorité raciale et linguistique au Québec.

The Education to Employability Study - Black Community Resource Centre (BCRC); Provincial Employment Roundtable of Quebec (2022)
In Québec, both the Black community and the English-speaking community occupy relatively precarious economic and employment positions: both experience higher-thanaverage unemployment rates and earn lower median after-tax incomes compared to the province’s total population. The English-speaking Black Community (ESBC) sits at the intersection of these two communities, and experiences the double marginalization of being both a racial and linguistic minority in Québec.

Consultative Committee on Anglophone Participation in the Quebec Public Service : Report to the Minister for Administration and the Public Service Chairman of the Treasury Board - Blair, David F (Chairman of the Provincial Consultative Committee) (1992)
While the members of the English-speaking community form 12 % of the Quebec population, they represent only 0.8 % of all employees of the Quebec Public Service. The rate of representation has been declining for several years. It is obvious that the situation cannot be rectified overnight and that several years will be needed to achieve the desired goal, which is the representation by members of the English-speaking community in the Quebec Public Service that is equal to their proportion of the Quebec population.

Fostering the Well-Being of English-Speaking Quebecers Through Community Involvement? : A Statistical Analysis of the Relationship Between Activism and Individual Happiness - Bonin, Pierre-Olivier (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2020)
Scholars of many disciplines have studied Canadian official language minority communities (OLMCs) such as the English-speaking communities in Quebec. One of the most successful research frameworks draws on the notion of vitality. Studies on vitality, be it construed as group vitality (e.g., Bourhis et al. 2019), subjective vitality (e.g., Landry and Allard 1994) or community vitality (e.g., Floch, Abou-Rjeili, and Durand 2017), have provided detailed empirical portraits of OLMCs. While scholars working in the latter area have addressed the many symptoms, causes, and consequences of strong and weak vitality, this working paper will provide empirical insights on a less often studied side of the question. Specifically, the extant literature has addressed the issue of vitality by examining aggregate indicators; this working paper will examine solutions that may improve the well-being of OLMCs at the individual level.

The Vitality of the English-Speaking Communities of Quebec : From Community Decline to Revival - Bourhis, Richard Y. (2009)
The goal of this book is to provide a current portrait of the group vitality of the English-speaking Communities of Quebec. The enduring stereotype about the Anglophones of Quebec is that it is a pampered minority whose economic clout is such that federal or provincial support for the maintenance and development of its institutions is hardly necessary. This view of the privileged status of Quebec Anglos is widely held not only by the Francophone majority of Quebec but also by many leaders of Francophone communities across Canada. On the few occasions that Anglophones in the rest of Canada (ROC) spare a thought to the Anglophones of Quebec, either this idealised view of the community prevails, or they are portrayed as residents of a linguistic gulag whose rights are trampled on a regular and ongoing basis.

Bill 103 : Collective Rights and the Declining Vitality of the English-speaking Communities of Quebec - Bourhis, Richard Y.; Foucher, Pierre (Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN), 2010)
The first part of this brief deals with the declining vitality of the English speaking communities of Quebec (ESCQ) and the strength of the dominant Québécois francophone majority in the Province. We argue that a key premise of Bill 103 is based on the erroneous notion that the French language and its speakers are threatened in the Province of Quebec. This false premise brings the current government to draft Bill 103 with regulations making it virtually impossible for Allophone and immigrant children to be approved as pupils in the publicly funded English schools of the Province. As the past Education Minister Michele Courchesne stated on June 3rd 2010 “I won’t deny that the objective (of Bill 103) is to have as few as possible (approved)”.

The Decline of the English School System in Quebec - Bourhis, Richard Y.; Foucher, Pierre (Canadian Institute for Research on Linguistic Minorities (CIRLM), 2012)
With the adoption of the Charter of the French Language by the Parti Québécois in 1977, Quebec Anglophones were most concerned about the erosion of their educational institutions resulting not only from the out-migration of Anglophones and Allophones to the rest of Canada (ROC), but also from the Bill 101 law stipulating that international immigrants to Quebec could no longer choose to send their children to English schools (Mallea, 1984). Thus, following Bill 101, Quebec Anglophones could no longer count on immigrants to maintain the demographic base necessary to keep open key English medium schools across the province (McAndrew, 2002). However by 1982, Anglophones, as English mother tongue “rights holders”, could now count on their right to English schooling in Quebec as enshrined in Article 23 of the Canadian Constitution.

A Needs Assessment Report to Build & Strengthen the Volunteer Base of the Lower North Shore of Quebec - Buckle, Heidi (Coasters Association, 2004)
In the 21st century volunteers are asked to take on roles that hold significant importance. Volunteering is the most fundamental act of citizenship in our society. It is offering time, energy and skills of one’s own free will. By caring and contributing, volunteers decrease disparity, while they can gain skill(s), self-esteem, and can change their lives. People work to improve the lives of their neighbors and, in return, enhance their own. The project’s goal was to identify the needs of the twenty-one (21) regional and one hundred and thirteen (113) community organizations on the coast. The results of the study have provided the population with resourceful information, such as: the mandates, services, and orientation priorities of the regional organizations, the needs of the regional and community groups, and the potential development of new groups/organizations on the Lower North Shore. This was accomplished through a questionnaire (see annex 5) with a 100% success rate of the regional organizations, and a 92% achievement rate for the community organizations. With the development of a survey (see annex 6) and support of the survey participants (see annex 7); a remarkable 100% success rate was established for the potential development of new groups/organizations on the coast. However, it must be said that this information was gathered at the beginning of the project (August-September, 2003) and some of the orientation priorities of the regional organizations maybe completed and/or have changed since then.
