Forum for Youth Insights : Career and Education Orientations for the Post-COVID-19 World - Cohen, Eric (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2020)
The kids are (mostly) alright! That message was made loud and clear during a fascinating discussion when a group of passionate thinkers, educators, students, and speakers got together virtually on October 25, 2020, for Concordia University’s Forum for Youth Insights. An initiative of the Quebec English-Speaking Communities Research Network through its Inter-Level Educational Table, in collaboration with Youth 4 Youth Québec and the Black Community Resource Centre, this year’s forum had a special theme : Career and Education Orientations for the Post-COVID-19 World. In a nutshell, it was an opportunity for students to understand the new realities of the post-COVID-19 experience and how to navigate the sometimes confusing road ahead. Spoiler alert : We’re gonna be alright (but we need to recalibrate slightly).

Forum sur les perspectives jeunesse : orientations professionnelles et éducatives dans le monde post-COVID-19 - Cohen, Eric (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2020)
La jeunesse va (globalement) bien ! Ce message a été exprimé haut et fort lors d’une discussion captivante entre intellectuels, éducateurs, étudiants et conférenciers passionnés, qui s’est tenue virtuellement le 25 octobre 2020 dans le cadre du Forum sur les perspectives jeunesse de l’Université Concordia. L’événement a eu lieu à l’initiative du Réseau de recherche sur les communautés québécoises d’expression anglaise, par l’entremise de sa Table d’éducation interordres et en collaboration avec Youth 4 Youth Québec et le Centre de ressources de la communauté noire. Cette année, le forum avait un thème bien particulier : Orientations professionnelles et éducatives dans le monde post-COVID-19. En résumé, l’occasion a été donnée aux étudiants de saisir les nou- velles réalités de ce « monde d’après » afin qu’ils sachent comment s’engager sur la voie parfois déconcertante qui s’ouvre à eux. Alerte au divulgâcheur : tout va bien aller (mais il nous faudra procéder à quelques ajustements).

Supporting English Schools in Quebec Through the Pandemic - Advisory Board on English Education (2020)
The Advisory Board on English Education (ABEE) wrote to the Minister in June, 2020 regarding the return to school. Because little has changed since then among the concerns it raised, we urge the Minister to refer back to that document, included with this letter for your convenience. In September, ABEE met virtually to assess the situation in English-language schools and centres now that they are in operation after a six-month hiatus. In the words of one member, there were “different perspectives from different people with different responsibilities but all focused on how to play our part to make this work for our students, their families and our colleagues.” The discussion was wide-ranging, but several themes emerged that we respectfully share with the Minister.

Un soutien aux écoles anglaises durant la pandémie - Advisory Board on English Education (2020)
En juin 2020, la Commission de l’éducation en langue anglaise (CELA) a adressé au ministre de l’Éducation un mémoire concernant la rentrée scolaire. Puisque la plupart des inquiétudes qui y ont été soulevées persistent, nous prions le ministre de revoir ce document, que nous joignons à toutes fins utiles aux présentes. En septembre, les membres de la CELA se sont réunis en ligne pour évaluer la situation dans les écoles et centres anglophones, qui ont repris leurs activités après six mois d’interruption. Pour citer une des personnes présentes, « différents points y ont été exprimés par différents intervenants, mais tous s’articulaient autour du rôle que nous devons jouer dans l’instauration de solutions qui fonctionnent pour nos élèves, leur famille et nos collègues ». Malgré la portée générale des discussions, plusieurs thèmes sont ressortis, et nous prions le ministre de bien vouloir en prendre connaissance.

Community Vitality Report on English-speaking International Students - Andrade, Gustavo; Morais, Maria (Y4Y Québec, 2020)
Since 2016, the first year of the QS Best Student Cities ranking, produced by QS Quacquarelli Symonds, Montreal is ranked in the top 10 best cities for students in the world. It is regularly ranked as the most student-friendly city in North America and was rated #1 in 2017. The rank’s methodology includes indicators such as university rankings, affordability, and, since 2017, students’ opinions (QS Quacquarelli Symonds, 2019). As a result, Montreal attracts tens of thousands of international students every year. Many of those students come to Quebec with English as their second language, with little to no knowledge of French, to study at both major English-language universities, Concordia and McGill, or in one of the numerous English-language private colleges. Besides all the challenges related to post-secondary studies and being an English-speaker in Quebec, English-speaking international students who want to settle in Quebec also need to face the challenge of living abroad and learning the language of the majority.

A quarter of a century ago, the Quebec Community Groups Network was founded with a mandate to build the understanding and cooperation needed to develop strong, reasoned policy to ensure sustainable growth for English-speaking Quebec.

Community Needs Assessment of Health and Social Services in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce - Holtom, Alexandra (NDG Community Council (NDGCC), 2020)
This community needs assessment is intended to evaluate the assets, weaknesses, gaps, and needs in the NDG community in regards to health and social services. This report describes needs that should be addressed in order to improve the health and well-being of individuals and families living in the NDG community. This community needs assessment provides the NDG Community Council, its stakeholders, and residents with a clearer understanding of health and social service needs in the community. It highlights what local residents, outreach workers, and service providers perceive to be the most pressing needs in the NDG community. This assessment also serves to identify barriers and difficulties when accessing health and social services, particularly those experienced by underserved populations such as youth, seniors, people living with disabilities, visible and racialized minorities, and newcomers, refugees, and asylum seekers living in the NDG community.

Évaluation des besoins de la communauté en matière de santé et des services sociaux à Notre-Dame-de-Grâce - Holtom, Alexandra (NDG Community Council (NDGCC), 2020)
Cette évaluation des besoins de la communauté a été réalisée pour évaluer les atouts, les faiblesses, les lacunes et les besoins de la communauté de NDG en matière de santé et de services sociaux. Ce rapport décrit les besoins qui devraient être adressés afin d'améliorer la santé et le bien-être des individus et des familles vivant dans la communauté de NDG. Cette évaluation des besoins de la communauté permet au Conseil Communautaire de NDG, à ses partenaires, et aux résidents de mieux comprendre les besoins en matière de santé et de services sociaux de la communauté. Elle souligne ce que les résidents locaux, les travailleurs de proximité, et les fournisseurs de services perçoivent comme les besoins les plus urgents de la communauté de NDG. Cette évaluation permet également d'identifier les barrières et les difficultés d'accès aux services sociaux et de santé, en particulier celles rencontrées par les populations sous servies et défavorisées telles que les jeunes, les personnes âgées, les personnes vivant avec un handicap, les minorités visibles et racisées, les nouveaux arrivants, les réfugiés et les demandeurs d'asile vivant dans la communauté de NDG.

This study, University-Based Approaches for Older Adults: Adapting Universities for the 100-year Lifespan, uses the McGill Community for Lifelong Learning (MCLL) as a case study to probe issues related to seniors’ learning within university contexts, including demographics, effects of learning on the lives of older adults, mutual benefits and expectations for learners and the university community of which they are members. The intention of this research is to enable the continuous improvement of MCLL and, given national and international demographic shifts, to add new perspectives to the literature on the increasingly vital topic of continuing to learn throughout the lifespan.

The roles and responsibilities of our Residents’ Committee (shared with the Users’ Committee) are to: 1. Inform users of their rights and obligations. 2. Help improve the quality of living conditions and evaluate the degree of satisfaction with the services at the institution. 3. Defend the collective rights and interests of users or, upon request, the rights and interests of an individual user, before the institution or any competent authority. The SBH Residents’ Committee is overseen by the JHSB Users’ Committee. As president, I therefore attended its meetings to receive and give information of interest to SBH. As committees we strive to work closely with administrators at SBH to ensure our concerns translate into quality services for residents.

Returning to School in the English Education System in Uncertain Times - Advisory Board on English Education (2020)
The sudden and widespread occurrence of COVID-19 has pointed out the great disparities across the province of Québec, such as the different situations between the cities and the regions, and also between sectors of the population within these settings. These differences have resulted in different policy decisions, such as when—or whether—to reopen schools, and we commend the Minister for applying local solutions to local situations. We hope this strategy will continue during the uncertainty that will apply to the probable second wave of the pandemic predicted for the Fall, and we welcome the possibility of different scenarios proposed in the working document on resumption of school for all in September. An unwelcome result of the rapidly changing situation and the need for quick decisions is the appearance of hasty, spontaneous decisions that are not conveyed appropriately to the educational partners who must respond to them. Policy -makers can react quickly. Systems can not. Announcing a policy then modifying or reversing it causes stress and confusion, especially when those who must implement the policy—including principals and teachers—feel excluded from the process.

Une rentrée sous le signe de l’incertitude dans le réseau scolaire anglophone - Advisory Board on English Education (2020)
L’apparition et la propagation soudaines de la COVID-19 ont mis en lumière de grandes disparités dans tout le Québec, notamment entre villes et régions, mais également entre divers segments de la population urbaine ou rurale. Ces disparités ont d’ailleurs mené à des décisions différentes, par exemple quant à la réouverture des écoles, et il y a lieu de saluer le ministre pour l’application de solutions locales à des situations locales. Nous espérons que cette stratégie sera maintenue pendant la période d’incertitude qui ne manquera pas de ressurgir avec la probable deuxième vague de la pandémie, prévue à l’automne . Nous accueillons favorablement la possibilité qu’il y ait différents scénarios, comme cela est proposé dans le document de travail sur la rentrée scolaire pour tous en septembre prochain. En revanche, l’évolution rapide de la situation et la nécessité d’agir promptement ont aussi comme résultat fâcheux quelques décisions spontanées et hâtives, qui ne sont pas transmises correctement aux partenaires du monde de l’éducation qui doivent pourtant y donner suite. Si les décideurs peuvent réagir rapidement, les systèmes ne le peuvent pas. Annoncer une politique, puis la modifier ou l’annuler est source de stress et de confusion, en particulier quand ceux qui doivent l’appliquer, dont les directeurs et les enseignants, se sentent exclus du processus.

The Institut de la Statistique du Québec states that as of 2015 as many as a quarter of the population of Québec were caregivers, the majority being female, for people with long-term health complications. The recipient of the care is most often a family member. The reason for needing care varies between chronic illness, disability, and difficulties related to aging. Of those providing care to family members, greater than one third act as a caregiver to more than one person.

The QFHSA Back-to-School Survey : What Our Members Had To Say - Quebec Federation of Home and School Associations (QFHSA) (2020)
The Quebec Federation of Home and School Associations (QFHSA) surveyed its members recently on the Quebec government’s plan to reopen schools this spring. We learned that a small minority of parents (16.74%) plan to send their children back to school when it reopens. Of those who intend to keep their children at home, 65.5% are opting for distance learning; and 30%, home-schooling.

Profil de la jeunesse anglophone de la Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine - Regional Individual Employment Services & Support (RIESS) (Committee for Anglophone Social Action (CASA), 2020)
Ce profil de la situation de la jeunesse anglophone de la Gaspésie et des Îles-de-la-Madeleine a été commandité par trois organisations communautaires : le Comité pour l’action sociale anglophone (CASA), le Conseil des Madelinot·e·s anglophones (CAMI) et Vision Gaspé-Percé Now. Des travaux de recherche-action fondés sur une approche participative et communautaire ont servi de base au développement de ce profil. Ce faisant, l’étude sur laquelle le présent document se fonde permet d’avoir un portrait des réalités propres à la jeunesse, développé par les jeunes elleux-mêmes; ceci permettra de travailler plus efficacement à la résolution des enjeux et des difficultés auxquels ils et elles font face dans les différentes communautés de la région. Une méthode d’approche mixte a ainsi été développée via la combinaison d’une enquête en ligne et de groupes de discussions sur des sujets liés à l’émigration, à l’éducation, à l’emploi, à la vie sociale, aux services, etc. Au total, 438 jeunes de 15 à 35 ans ont participé à l’enquête en ligne, et neuf groupes de discussion ont été instaurés sur un total de six communautés regroupant 82 jeunes.

A study grounded in community-based participatory action research was developed, with the goal of hearing directly from young people about their realities in order to take action on issues affecting them in the region’s communities. A mixed methods approach combined an on-line survey with focus group discussions exploring questions related to out-migration, education, employment, social life, services and more. A total of 438 young people aged 15-35 filled out the survey and nine focus groups were held in a total of six communities with a total of 82 youth.

A total of 438 young people filled out the survey and nine FGD were held in a total of six communities (with a total of 82 youth).

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.

Project Woke interns identified and investigated three critical themes affecting the Black community in Montreal. An analysis of societal issues and Canada’s Anti-Racism Strategy Project revealed harmful anti-human rights gaps affecting the Black Community. 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 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.

Evaluation Report - Holley, Paul (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2020)
The following evaluation report fulfills a key deliverable of a broader project funded by Canadian Heritage and titled Best Practices in Community Engagement for the English Speaking Youth Population in Quebec, which was implemented by Youth 4 Youth (Y4Y) Quebec from April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020. The key objective of this project was to boost youth engagement and participation in political and community life in Quebec. Y4Y successfully accomplished this objective by engaging over 1,000 youth through a series of 30 community consultations, 12 focus groups, and a youth survey delivered on-line and in-person with 520 respondents. The focus of this report is on the key findings from the survey, which targeted Englishspeaking youth ages 16 to 30 from across the province and collected quantitative and qualitative information on youth media consumption and community engagement activities. A gender-based analysis of key survey findings was also conducted and is presented in this report along with a set of recommendations for community organizations serving Quebec’s English-speaking youth population.
