Blazing a Trail for Active and Healthy Aging : An Action Plan for Quebec English-speaking Seniors / Tracer la voie pour vieillir en santé et demeurer actif : Plan d’action à l’intention des aînés d’expression anglaise du Québec - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2009)
In 2007, the Ministère de la Famille et des Aînés conducted public consultations across all 17 regions to assess the living conditions of seniors and to identify their major challenges across Quebec. The roving consultations looked at a variety of subjects including the role and needs of family caregivers, home support services, intergenerational solidarity, abuse of and violence towards seniors, as well as the contributions that seniors make to society. It demonstrated the importance of understanding the needs and priorities of seniors as their numbers gradually increase in proportion to the rest of the population due to enhanced longevity. The findings of the consultations were summarized by Minister Marguerite Blais, assisted by Mrs. Sheila Goldbloom and Dr. Réjean Hébert in a report entitled “Public Consultation Report on Living Conditions of Quebec: Preparing the Future with our Seniors,” which identified the priorities for all seniors in Quebec. En 2007, le ministère de la Famille et des Aînés a mené une consultation publique dans 17 régions afin d’évaluer les conditions de vie des aînés et d’établir leurs principaux enjeux dans tout le Québec. Cette commission itinérante a permis d’examiner une variété de sujets, notamment le rôle et les besoins des aidants naturels, les services de soutien à domicile, la solidarité intergénérationnelle, les abus et la violence envers les aînés ainsi que la contribution des aînés à la société. Cet exercice a démontré l’importance de comprendre les besoins et les priorités des aînés car, en raison de l’accroissement de la longévité, leur nombre augmente graduellement, proportionnellement au reste de la population. Les conclusions de ce processus de consultation ont été résumées par la ministre Marguerite Blais, en collaboration avec Mme Sheila Goldbloom et le Dr Réjean Hébert, dans un ouvrage intitulé Rapport de la consultation publique sur les conditions de vie des aînés : Préparons l’avenir avec nos aînés. Ce rapport définit les priorités de tous les aînés du Québec.

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.

Creating Spaces for Young Quebecers : Strategic Orientations for English-speaking Youth in Quebec - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2009)
Over the past decades, Francophones in Quebec have taken formal steps to preserve and promote their language and culture. To most English-speaking youth growing up in Quebec today, this makes sense and we agree that steps should be taken to protect Quebec’s uniqueness in North America. However, young English-speakers living in Quebec - from Montreal to the North Shore to the Gaspé - face their own set of unique challenges. In small English-speaking pockets scattered throughout the province, young English-speakers struggle to become bilingual, access services, create strong ties with their communities, participate in Quebec society and define their own identities. The members of the Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) Youth Standing Committee have worked together over the last year to ensure that this document represents the perspectives of as many youth as possible from a wide array of regions and backgrounds. We have also worked to ensure that the process has been directed by youth and that the voices we have heard are heard by others as well. This is the first time that a significant percentage of English-speaking youth in Quebec have come together from across many regions to address the barriers young people face. It has been exciting to discuss our Quebec roots, our desire to remain in this province and our willingness to move past the linguistic tensions of previous generations. In consultations across eight regions, followed by a provincial forum, we have generated strategies for moving forward together. This document outlines strategies that youth have recommended to help achieve our collective vision for English-speaking youth in Quebec. We encourage the QCGN to work towards this vision for English-speaking youth in Quebec in collaboration with community partners, all levels of government and Francophone organizations.

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.

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.

Déclaration sur le projet de loi 21 : Loi sur la laïcité de l’État - The English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) (2009)
Le Conseil catholique d’expression anglaise a été fondé en 1981 avec la mission d'agir comme catalyseur, rassembleur et facilitateur de l'action collective pour la communauté catholique anglophone au Québec. En tant qu'organisme inspiré par l'enseignement social catholique, le Conseil se préoccupe du bien commun et s’inquiète donc des implications du projet de loi 21 (Loi sur la laïcité de l'État) pour le bien-être social et civique de la société québécoise. Pour l’essentiel, les objections du Conseil à l'égard de la législation actuelle sont semblables à celles que nous avons exprimées dans notre mémoire de 2013 sur le projet de loi 60 (Charte affirmant les valeurs de la laïcité d'État, de la neutralité religieuse et de l'égalité entre les femmes et les hommes, et fournissant un cadre pour les demandes d'accommodement).

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.

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.

Local Television Support for the Official-language Minority in Quebec - Magnetic North Associates (2009)
The Anglophone minority doesn’t lack access to English-language channels via satellite and cable distribution, but it is underserved in “regional reflection” and “local expression”. That is especially the case for the 200,000 Anglophones outside the greater Montreal area who have virtually no “regional reflection”. The reason for this inadequate regional programming can be traced to the lack of regional services available to the official language minority community (OLMC) in Quebec. There is no English-language educational channel, similar to TFO in Ontario, nor is there an English regional channel, or community channel.

Its two main objectives are to ensure effective communication in English between English-speaking Quebecers and the health and social services workers who serve their needs and to increase the number of English-speaking professionals working in the Quebec health and social services system. The Project involves the implementation of four measures in partnership with stakeholders concerned by the issue of access to health and social services in the English-speaking communities. The 2008-2009 year was an extension of the Project which finished in March 2008.

Comments on the Canada Media Fund's English Regional Production Policies by the English-language Arts Network of Quebec - English Language Arts Network (ELAN) (2009)
The Canadian Television Fund (CTF) has made the English-language regions synonymous with the official-language minority in Quebec. While regional policies overlap with official-language policies in many ways, they are each distinct and need to be addressed differently. The Official Languages Act gives the English-language minority in Quebec the same status as the French-language minority outside Quebec. However, the CTF has not recognized that the official-language minority community (OLMC) in Quebec has the same rights and legal status as the French-language minority outside Quebec. Thus, Montreal production is not given regional status for the BPE, nor is there a Quebec OLMC production fund similar to the production fund (FLPOQ) available to the French-language minority outside Quebec.

The goal was to sound out their perception of community vitality, along with their take on the way in which federal institutions fulfill their obligations. More than 175 persons were interviewed and expressed their views across Canada. A report was written for each of the following regions: 1) Atlantic Region; 2) Quebec; 3) Ontario; 4) Manitoba and Saskatchewan; and 5) Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Another researcher wrote a report after having consulted key stakeholders who promote linguistic duality and second official language learning.

Each year KIDS Summer Camps accommodates the youth and parents in five (5) municipalities across the Lower North Shore (Blanc Sablon.

These camps provide a safe and happy environment, a unique learning experience for all those involved, as well as assist the camp counsellors with leadership skills that will help them in their future endeavors. It is a place where youth can interact with other youth in an adventurous, natural and spiritual environment. Therefore, the continuation and expansion of the KIDS Summer Camp is an important service to the population of the Lower North Shore.

Officers give out the positive tickets to neighbourhood youth displaying positive behaviour, which can be as simple as engaging in safe play or helping a community member. The positive tickets, which are business card size with positive messages printed on them, are combined with gift vouchers donated by and redeemable at local businesses. The real value of the project lies in the positive communication and interaction it creates between the officer and the youth. The Black Community Resource Center in Côte-des-Neiges wishes to implement a Positive Ticket Pilot Project in their neighbourhood in the summer of 2010.

In a province as vast as Quebec, and with schools and school boards scattered over an enormous geographic expanse, the notion of bringing people together to create a COMMUNITY of collaboration may appear daunting, if not impossible. In reality, when people share similar interests and common goals, those physical impediments can quickly disappear. This is especially true when the ultimate objective is the academic success of our children in elementary and high schools. LEARN’s focus is to serve as a catalyst and facilitator for the creation of communities of collaboration composed of educators, parents and students across the province. It is our organization’s objective to make every effort possible to get the well-intentioned forces within the English educational milieu together to share the wealth of knowledge and experience that resides there.

Assessing the English-speaking Community's Capacity to Access Arts, Culture, and Heritage in Nine Regions of Quebec : A Report on Phase One of the "Enhancing Access to Cultural Expression" Project (EACE) - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN); Palmer, Lise (2010)
In 2008, the Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) Board of Directors passed a formal resolution to prioritize the development of the Arts, Culture and Heritage sector. This area was prioritized by a majority of members in the Network and was supported by the Board. An Arts, Culture and Heritage working group was created to develop a policy framework in this area to streamline and guide the activities of the Network. The main partners in this endeavour were the English Language Arts Network (ELAN) represented by Guy Rodgers, the Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network (QAHN) represented by Kevin O'Donnell and Dwane Wilkin and the QCGN represented by Sylvia Martin-Laforge. Jane Needles also participated in the working group representing both the QCGN and ELAN. The policy framework, which was completed in November 2008, identified key areas of intervention over the next five years to support the dynamic growth and development of the cultural expression of English-speaking Quebec. The first was a project to access cultural expression through expanded partnerships. This current project “Enhancing Access to Cultural Expression” is a direct result of the prioritization of access to cultural expression. The other areas of priority included recognition and support through visibility - which is currently being addressed through the RAEV project being implemented by ELAN - and the creative economy - an issue yet to be addressed.

Today’s industry is more female, has fewer immigrants, and is much more bilingual. Sixty two per cent say they speak fluent French. This demographic shift may be caused by the departure of members of the industry with poorer French language skills or an increase in language skills.

En 1980, nous, un group d’individus représentant divers secteurs de la communauté Catholique anglophone et ses organisations, nous sommes réunis dans le but de consolider nos ressources humaines et matérielles, en vue du développement de notre communauté. Cela a mené, en 1981, à la création du Conseil catholique d’expression anglaise (CCEA), ayant le mandat d’agir comme point central dans la coordination de la communauté Catholique anglophone de la région urbaine de Montréal. Au cours des ans, l’CCEA a assumé un rôle plus proéminant, élargissant son activité à toute la province et au-delà. S’inspirant de la compréhension Catholique contemporaine du rôle de la communauté laïque dans le monde moderne, Le conseil catholique d’expression anglaise aide à promouvoir les valeurs de sa communauté, et défend ces valeurs dans le processus de résolution des problèmes ayant un impact sur cette communauté. Le conseil d’administration se compose d’hommes et de femmes du secteur public et privé, tous bénévoles, qui s’engagent à appuyer leur communauté dans les domaines de l’éducation, de la santé et des services sociaux, de l’animation sociale, de la culture et de la justice sociale.

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.

Our brief deals with the declining vitality of the English-speaking communities of Quebec (ESCQ) and the relative strength of the Francophone majority. The QCGN‟s goal is to demonstrate that our minority communities are not a threat to the majority, but a constituency that strengthens Quebec society. We expose the detrimental effect that Quebec's habit of emphasising an exclusionary notion of its society has on its minority population. Finally, we seek to attain official recognition of the historic and ongoing contributions our minority makes to Quebec society and achieve legal protection of minority rights and freedoms.

Each year the KIDS Summer Camps accommodates the youth and parents in five (5) municipalities across the Lower North Shore (Blanc Sablon. St. Paul’s River, St. Augustine, La Tabatiere and the Eau-Naturelle Discovery Camp in Chevery). These camps provide a safe and happy environment, a unique learning experience for all those involved, as well as assist the camp counsellors with leadership skills that will help them in their future endeavours. It is a place where youth can interact with other youth in an adventurous, natural and spiritual environment. Therefore, the continuation and expansion of the KIDS Summer Camp is an important service to the population of the Lower North Shore.

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).

Training and Human Resources Development Project : Final Report - Dialogue McGill (2010)
McGill University’s 2004-2008 Training and Human Resources Development Project sought to contribute to improving English-speaking Quebecers’ access in their own language to the range of health and social services offered to the general population. The 2004-2008 Project was funded through Health Canada’s program to support Quebec initiatives for improving access to health care and social services for English speakers. It was sponsored by McGill University’s Faculty of Arts and administered by its English and French Language Center in conjunction with its School of Social Work. The budget allocated for the 2004- 2008 period was $ 11,757,828. The project had two objectives: to ensure effective communication between English-speakers and the health and social services workers serving them and to increase the participation of English-speaking professionals in the Quebec health and social services network.

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)”.

Imagining a Broadcast and Media Strategy for Quebec's Official Language Minority - English Language Arts Network (ELAN) (2011)
This study revealed several opportunities to increase the quantity and quality of production, which have previously been overlooked, because of a lack of consistent/persistent consultations with a variety of interlocutors. These include: CRTC, Canada Media Fund, Telefilm and Société de développement des enterprises culturelles (SODEC), as well as television broadcasters, including Vidéotron/VOX, which have a responsibility to support or produce community-based television for its English-language subscribers. This study also revealed that a good deal of radio production with strong local content is being created, which could be more widely distributed via the web. A web-based cyber portal could be created to aggregate existing content and make it available to all English-speaking communities throughout Quebec.

To ensure viable results for our efforts aimed at improving the health and well-being of the English-speaking community, we thought it relevant to begin by presenting an updated portrait of the English-speaking community in the CNR. This portrait allows us to identify the various needs of the community, as well as its health determinants and indicators, and take stock of its ongoing evolution. This description is followed by a detailed presentation of Saint Brigid’s – Jeffery Hale Hospital’s prevention and health promotion Service Offer.

Baseline Data Report 2010-2011 : English-language Health and Social Services Access in Quebec - Pocock, Joanne (Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN), 2011)
The 2010-2011 Baseline Data Report relays the health and social service findings of the 2010 CHSSN-CROP Survey on Community Vitality Survey and compares them with the findings of the 2005 survey. In order to facilitate the five year comparison the design of the present report reproduces, as much as possible, that of the 2005-2006 BDR. The commonalities and distinct features of regional communities within the English-speaking provincial population are delineated as well as sub-groups defined by gender, age, household income, health status and level of bilingualism. While this report is limited to the health and social service sector, the Survey on Community Vitality also collects the opinions, perceptions and expectations of a representative sample of English-speaking Quebecers in each region of Quebec with respect to issues in education, manpower development, culture and communications. The 2010 study replicates a previous survey conducted by CROP in 2000 for the Missisquoi Institute and again in 2005 for the CHSSN. A survey was also done among a representative sample of French-speaking Quebecers on the same issues. These results are not presented in this report.

Lower North Shore Youth Employability Forum - Fequet Griffin, Priscilla (Coasters Association, 2011)
The 2011 Lower North Shore Youth Employability Forum was coordinated to provide the youth on the Lower North Shore with a two day intensive training on employability skills and provide them a forum to discuss with our Council of Mayors and leading community organizations and institutions the labour force market on the Lower North Shore. The projected outcome of the forum was to expand youth’s awareness of the shortages in labour in certain skilled trades sectors of employment and to improve opportunities for youth living in smaller, rural communities where jobs and employment services are more difficult to find. Thus, the skills developed during the two day forum will allow youth to further develop their capacity to enter into the labour force and raise awareness around labour opportunities on the Lower North Shore.

Understanding Literacy and Family Literacy Needs of Anglophone Adults in Quebec : Research Summaries - The Centre for Literacy of Quebec (CFL) (2011)
The Understanding literacy and family literacy needs of Anglophone adults in Quebec project aimed to deepen knowledge and understanding of the literacy and essential skills (LES) needs of Anglophone adults living in Quebec as a basis to more effectively serve English-speaking communities across the province. The issue was first identified in a publication by Statistics Canada of the 2003 IALSS results for Canada’s official language minorities which showed large disparities in literacy performance among Quebec Anglophones. The findings suggested differences in need from one community to another that may require targeted services. This project set out to fill this knowledge gap and to insert LES into the ongoing discussion about Anglophones in Quebec. All Quebec English-language umbrella groups stand to benefit from the findings in terms of proposing better policy, planning new services and using resources more efficiently. There may be opportunities for new partnerships to develop solutions to some challenges not previously seen as linked to literacy. The project will also provide a useful road map for identifying promising new research avenues that would assist LES organizations in getting a more detailed picture of the communities they are aiming to serve.

The McGill Training and Retention of Health Professionals Project seeks to contribute to Government of Quebec initiatives aimed at ensuring that English-speaking Quebecers have access to the full range of health and social services in their language. To this end it proposes a series of measures to train, hire and retain an adequate workforce for delivering health services and social services in English. The Project objectives are to a) improve the capacity of the health and social services network to serve English speakers in their language and b) increase the participation of English-speaking professionals in Quebec’s health and social services system. The achievement of these goals depends on a solid partnership between McGill University and the ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux (MSSS). A MSSS-McGill joint committee has been formed to oversee the implementation and monitoring of the various Project measures.

Le Projet de formation et de maintien en poste des professionnels de la santé de l’Université McGill se veut une contribution aux initiatives du gouvernement du Québec pour assurer aux Québécois d’expression anglaise l’accès dans leur langue à la gamme de services de santé et de services sociaux. À ce titre, le Projet propose diverses mesures visant à former, à embaucher et à maintenir en poste une main-d’œuvre suffisante capable d’offrir des services de santé et des services sociaux en anglais. Les objectifs du Projet sont d’améliorer la capacité du réseau de la santé et des services sociaux de répondre aux besoins des personnes d’expression anglaise dans leur langue et d’accroître la participation des professionnels d’expression anglaise dans le système québécois de santé et de services sociaux. L’atteinte de ces objectifs repose sur un partenariat entre l’Université McGill et le ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux. Un comité conjoint MSSS-McGill est formé afin d’assurer la mise en œuvre et le suivi de l’ensemble des mesures du Projet.
