Moving Forward : Building Research Capacity Related to Quebec’s English-speaking Seniors : Executive Summary - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2014)
While Quebec’s English-speaking seniors share many of the same needs and priorities as their French-speaking counterparts, as an official linguistic minority community (OLMC) they also have needs and priorities that are unique within the broader senior population. While there has been a great deal of research on Quebec’s demographic shift and its senior population, little - if - any attention has been paid to the specific needs and priorities of Quebec’s English-speaking seniors who are an official language minority community in Canada. One notable exception is the recent 2013 report entitled ‘Enjoying your senior years in your own language’ for the Office of the Commissioner for Official Languages, which employed 2006 Canadian census figures.

Au-delà du modèle unique : Des solutions distinctes pour des besoins distincts - Advisory Board on English Education (2013)
Dans le présent rapport à l’intention de la ministre, nous reprenons les thèmes et les préoccupations que nous avons exposés dans notre correspondance, nos rapports et nos mémoires antérieurs et qui décrivent encore aujourd’hui fidèlement la situation de l’éducation en langue anglaise au Québec. Nous y ajoutons des exemples actuels de préoccupations et de réussites afin de dresser un portrait à jour de la situation. Nous insistons sur le fait que nous n’avons nullement l’intention de promouvoir un système au détriment de l’autre, ni de désigner des fautifs. Selon nous, bon nombre des difficultés auxquelles font face les commissions scolaires, les écoles et les centres du secteur anglophone pourraient être amoindries si le MELS tenait davantage compte des différences entre les deux secteurs dans ses politiques et leur mise en oeuvre.

One Size Does Not Fit All: Distinct Solutions for Distinct Needs - Advisory Board on English Education (2013)
In this report to the Minister, the Advisory Board on English Education is taking the opportunity to review the themes and concerns identified in earlier correspondence, reports and briefs that continue to describe English education in Québec accurately, and to update them with current examples of both concerns and successes. We emphasize that there is no intention to promote one system over another, nor to assign fault. We believe that many of the inherent difficulties faced by English school boards, schools and centres could be mitigated if MELS were to take better account of the differences between the two sectors in its policies and their implementation. It is hoped that a description of the distinctiveness of the English sector and how it functions differently from the French sector will provide some insight as to how the English system is frequently constrained by many of the Ministry’s policies, especially in their application, and indicate the need for flexibility in implementing policy. This will ensure that the English education system can continue to prepare its graduates to participate fully in the life of Québec society.

Language Training Program : Overall Profile 2009-2013 - Dialogue McGill (2013)
The Language Training Program, Measure 1, has three components.

The third covers support activities for the trainers giving language courses in the regions and the learners who take those courses. These activities are developed and offered by the McGill Project team. The Program structure and content were developed by the McGill Project team and are described in Language Training Program – Frame of Reference 2009-2013, which also describes the target users; the Program objectives, partners and conditions; the parameters of the call for proposals for regional training projects; and regional allocation of the funding envelope. A coordinating mechanism, the MSSS-McGill Joint Committee, implements and monitors the Program, as prescribed in the Implementation Framework that the two organizations signed onto in November 2009.

Training and Retention of Health Professionals Project : Research development program : overall profile 2009-2013 - Dialogue McGill (2013)
The McGill University Training and Retention of Health Professionals Project (McGill Project) adds to the initiatives of the Government of Québec to give English-speaking Quebecers access to the full range of health and social services in their own language. It is an additional tool for implementing and revising regional programs for access to services in English, as prescribed in the Act respecting health services and social services. The McGill Project addresses the recognized needs of English-speaking communities and the challenge that those needs pose for Quebec's health and social services system. Given this, the McGill Project set up various programs to train and promote the hiring and retention of sufficient professionals qualified to deliver health and social services in English. The McGill Project is funded by Health Canada in the amount of $19 million over four years through its Official Languages Health Contribution Program (OLHCP). This report is the third in a three-part series to present the data gathered through the McGill Project from 2009 to 2013. The series deals with the three measures of the McGill Project, namely, the Language Training Program, the Retention and Distance Professional and Community Support Program, and the Research Development Program. The reports are organized to reflect the structure of each program as set out in the reference documents. Each report begins with an introduction of the program, then briefly describes the variables, data sources and sections of the report. This document reports on Measure 3, the Research Development Program, and is meant to inform Program reframing in Phase 3 (2013-2018).

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.

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.

Community Portrait of Bonne-Espérance - Richardson, Mary (Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN), 2012)
In 2009, the Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN) concluded an agreement with Quebec’s Institut national de santé publique (INSPQ) to develop knowledge on the English-speaking population of Quebec as part of a program concerning health projects for official language minority communities. Gaining a better understanding of English-speaking communities in Quebec is one of the objectives of that collaboration, and it is explored here through the lens of community development.

Regional Development of English Language Entrepreneurial Services - Qu'anglo (Youth Employment Services (YES), 2012)
YES is a non-profit organization that provides English language employability and entrepreneurship services in Quebec, principally those on the Island of Montreal. The areas of services offered are job search, entrepreneurship, mentorship and artists’ programs. In response to requests from the organizations in the regions outside of Montreal for similar services, YES has begun to develop support and delivery mechanisms that respond to the unique needs of the regions1 within a context of building economic viability. This report provides the results of the work carried out in 2011-12 to look at the feasibility of offering YES-type services in the regions, as well as the planning and development activities that should be carried out to support a broader economic development amongst English-speaking communities in Quebec.

In the Know : Identifying Multiple Aspects of Quebec's Community Sector - Centre des organismes communautaires / Centre for community organizations (2012)
In October of 2008, The Centre for Community Organizations (COCo) began a community research project to help develop a better understanding of the diversity of groups working for social change in Québec. The study, “In the Know: Identifying multiple aspects of Québec’s community sector”, was supported by the Secretariat à l’Action Communautaire Autonome et aux Initiatives Sociales (SACAIS) and aimed to survey English-speaking, bilingual and ethno-cultural community groups across Québec over a three year period. The research was carried out between 2009 and 2012.

The Literacy and Essential Skills Needs of Quebec's Anglophone Adults - Centre for Literacy (CFL) (2012)
Understanding the Literacy and Essential Skills Needs of Quebec’s Anglophone Adults,1 Phase 1, was a project designed 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 Englishspeaking 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 (discussed in detail in Sections Three and Four) which showed large disparities in literacy performance among Quebec Anglophones (Corbeil 2006: 20). The findings suggested differences in needs from one community to another that may require targeted services.

Programme d’accès aux services de santé et aux services sociaux en langue anglaise pour les personnes d’expression anglaise : 2012-2015 - Labrecque, Edith; Paquette, Brigitte (Jeffery Hale - Saint Brigid's (JHSB), 2012)
En novembre 2010, le ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux (MSSS) demandait aux agences de procéder à la révision du programme d’accès aux services de santé et aux services sociaux en langue anglaise pour les personnes d’expression anglaise de leur région respective. Le dernier programme d’accès, élaboré par l’Agence de la santé et des services sociaux de la Capitale-Nationale, avait été approuvé par ce même ministère en décembre 2007. Conformément à la loi, ces programmes doivent être révisés tous les trois ans, ce qui implique la mise en place d’une démarche permettant d’assurer leur actualisation. Ce travail permet donc de revoir la situation prévalant actuellement dans la région à l’intention de la population d’expression anglaise, d’apporter les bonifications nécessaires afin de mieux répondre à leurs besoins, et ce, en matière d’accessibilité, de continuité, de complémentarité et de qualité dans les services offerts. Il implique nécessairement un grand nombre de partenaires provenant de divers établissements de la région.

Language Training Program : Frame of Reference 2010-2013 - Dialogue McGill (2011)
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Introduction - O'Donnell, Brendan (Sources for the Study of English speaking Quebec : An Annotated Bibliography of Works Produced between 1990 and 2008 / Sources pour l'étude du Québec d'expression anglaise Bibliographie annotée d'ouvrages produits de 1990 à 2008, 2009)

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.

Freedom of Religious Instruction : A Fundamental Right of Parents and Children - Murphy, Martin P.; The English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) (The English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC), 2008)
From the time it was proposed in the late 19809s to shift the Quebec school system from a denominational model to a linguistic one, the English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) has consistently fought for freedom of religion and parental choice in religious instruction for people of all faiths. Time and again, the ESCC has defended these principles in its submissions to the National Assembly, the Commission for the Estates-General on Education, the Special Joint Committee of the House of Commons and the Senate, and most recently, the BouchardTaylor Commission on Reasonable Accommodation of Minorities.

French Immersion Teen Camp : Feasibility Study - Newcombe, Vanessa; Roberts, Carla; Griffin, Emily (Coasters Association, 2008)
Living in such an isolated area such as, the Lower North Shore, there is a lack of activities for all ages, but more so for the adolescent age. There are very few activities on the Lower North Shore that directly focuses on teenagers, so teens resort to other activities that result in social problems (i.e. drinking, drugs, vandalism, etc…). Therefore, a French Immersion Teen Camp would provide teenagers with activities and a program that is especially designed for them. Teenagers could have a chance to get away from the social problems and into a program that will nurture and develop a safe and healthy environment in which the teens can improve their health and obtain skills that will assist them in their future lives and also promote and develop their French as a Second Language skill.

Ancestors : Life, Death, and Descendants of Quebec City's Anglophones - Morrin Centre (2008)
Quebec City’s cemeteries have lots to say about our ancestors and the past. They are places of remembrance for those close to the departed, but they are also a storehouse of memories for the whole community. Cemeteries are closely linked to religious belief : They express a particular vision of the world, a set of values and a culture.

Building the City : The Influence of English Speakers on Quebec City's Architecture - Morrin Centre (2008)
Quebec City is praised for its quintessential Frenchness, yet a closer look at its architecture reveals a city with a strong British influence. Ninety-five per cent of the city was built or modified after the British conquest in 1759. In the middle of the ninete nth century, half the people in the Upper Town were English speakers, and they left a clear mark on the built environment. Many of the city’s important landmarks, from the Château Frontenac to the Price Building, were designed by English-speaking architects.

Les ancêtres : vie, mort et descendance des anglophones de la ville de Québec - Morrin Centre (2008)
Les cimetières de la ville de Québec constituent une mine de renseignements précieuse à propos de nos ancêtres et du passé.

Les bâtisseurs : l'influence anglophone sur l'architecture de Québec - Morrin Centre (2008)
Bien que l’on vante le caractère français de Québec, son architecture a subi une influence anglaise considérable : 95 % des édifices sont construits ou modifiés après 1759, suite à la Conquête. Au milieu du 19e siècle, la moitié des habitants de la Haute-Ville sont anglophones et leur présence marque le patrimoine bâti de la ville. De nombreux monuments caractéristiques de Québec, du Château Frontenac à l’édifice Price, sont conçus par des architectes anglophones.

Les gens du fleuve : la vie des anglophones sur les rives du Saint-Laurent - Morrin Centre (2008)
L’historien grec Hérodote disait de l’Égypte qu’elle était un « don du Nil » tant ce fleuve était important dans la vie des Égyptiens. De la même façon, on pourrait dire que Québec est un don du Saint-Laurent. Le Saint-Laurent était le « boulevard » des Autochtones, premiers habitants du territoire, avant de devenir la voie d’accès des explorateurs Français. Il est un facteur déterminant dans le choix de Samuel de Champlain d’établir une colonie à Québec, car il y voyait une route vers la Chine.

People of the River : Anglophone Life on the St. Lawrence - Morrin Centre (2008)
The Greek historian Herodotus summed up Egypt’s dependence on its great river by calling the country a “gift of the Nile.” In the same way, it could be said that Quebec is a gift of the St. Lawrence. The St. Lawrence was the “boulevard” of the territory’s first inhabitants, the Aboriginal people. Then it became the access route for French explorers. Samuel de Champlain thought it was a route to China, and this was a determining factor in his decision to found a colony at Quebec.

A Policy Framework for Economic Development and Employability for the English-speaking Communities of Quebec : Submitted to the Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) - Qu'anglo (2008)
Through previous research and following a number of community consultations, the QCGN had determined that there is a need for initiatives that will enable the English-speaking Communities of Quebec to work more effectively with the Government of Canada, the Government of Quebec, school boards and relevant stakeholders to more fully participate in the economy of province. Given the continuing exodus of educated and trained anglophones to seek employment opportunities elsewhere, and the difficulties faced by particular segments of the population, especially youth, visible minorities and newly arrived immigrants, who choose to seek employment and self-employment within Quebec, it was determined that an integrated and targeted approach to improve the economic development prospects of the community was required.

The Baseline Data Report 2006-2007 - Pocock, Joanne (Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN), 2007)
In 2002, the Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN) was a key Contributor to the report of the Consultative Committee for English‐speaking Minority Communities to the Federal Minister of Health.1 The Consultative Committee report proposed a five year Global Intervention Plan to support the English‐speaking communities’ efforts to improve access to health and social services in their language in Quebec. The Consultative Committee emphasized that improved access was intimately tied to the ability of English‐speaking communities to develop local networks and effective partnerships with public sector agencies. It was proposed that by maintaining and improving English‐language access to a full range of health and social services across diverse regional populations that these partnerships would help to promote better health outcomes and ensure the vitality of Quebec’s English‐speaking communities. The Committee underlined the need to pay special attention to the more isolated and demographically weak communities which face special challenges in providing health and social services in English to their respective populations.
