The Jeffery Hale-St. Brigid’s Users’ Committee met ten times from April 2021 to March, 2022 plus at the Annual Meeting on June 7, 2021. There were no in-person meetings held because of the Public Health constraints imposed by the COVID 19 worldwide pandemic so all meetings were held through Zoom. Some of the main challenges this public health situation has presented to the Committee have been the difficulty of meaningfully supporting staff in both residences, limited in- person access to Residents and their families, recruiting new members, and the complications in planning and implementing programmes.

Since the onset of Covid-19, community has come to inhabit a digital medium for many of Québec’s English-speaking youth. But what does this mean in concrete terms? How is this linguistic minority using social media, and in what manner are they experiencing this digital shift? Will they want to keep having online events going forward? Our paper observes the digital behavior of young (aged 16-30) English-speaking Québecers from March 2020 until the current moment in the pandemic’s development.

Brief to House of Commons Standing Committee on Official Languages : Bill C-13, An Act for the Substantive Equality of Canada's Official Languages - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2022)
The Official Languages Act is a lifeline for English-speaking Quebec. With Quebec’s Bill 96, the community needs this lifeline more than ever. But with Bill C-13, this lifeline is fraying. Founded in 1995, the Quebec Community Groups Network (“QCGN”) is a not-for-profit organization linking English-language community organizations across Quebec. The QCGN—like the community it serves—is proud to support the protection and promotion of the French language in Canada. The QCGN advocates for linguistic duality in every province and territory. The English-speaking minority in Quebec is a diverse, bilingual, and resilient community that is facing serious economic challenges—in the face of persistent myths and stereotypes. Although the English language itself is not threatened, the English-speaking community’s challenge is in maintaining the community’s vitality and survival in all regions of Quebec.

Mémoire présenté au Comité permanent des langues officielles de la Chambre des communes : Projet de loi C-13, Loi visant l’égalité réelle entre les langues officielles du Canada - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2022)
La Loi sur les langues officielles (LLO) représente une bouée de sauvetage pour le Québec d’expression anglaise et, compte tenu du projet de loi 96 du Québec, la communauté anglophone en a besoin plus que jamais. Mais avec le projet de loi C-13, cette bouée de sauvetage s'effiloche. Fondé en 1995, le Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) est un organisme à but non lucratif qui relie les organismes communautaires de langue anglaise partout au Québec. Le QCGN — tout comme les communautés qu'il sert — est fier de soutenir la protection et la promotion de la langue française au Canada. Le QCGN milite en faveur de la dualité linguistique dans chaque province et chaque territoire. La minorité d’expression anglaise du Québec est une communauté diversifiée, bilingue et résiliente, qui est confrontée à de sérieux défis économiques ainsi qu’à des mythes et à des stéréotypes persistants. Bien que sa langue elle-même ne soit pas menacée, le défi de la communauté d’expression anglaise consiste à préserver sa vitalité et sa survie dans toutes les régions du Québec.

Au cours de la deuxième année de l'initiative sur la jeunesse et la santé mentale (surnommée « YMHI »), le CHSSN a soutenu 27 organismes communautaires avec plus de 373 partenariats dans 12 régions du Québec, y compris trois organismes provinciaux, dans le but principal d'améliorer l'accès aux services et aux ressources en matière de santé mentale pour les jeunes d’expression anglaise du Québec âgés de 15 à 29 ans. Chaque organisation s'est efforcée d'identifier les lacunes dans les services de santé mentale pour les jeunes, d'impliquer ces derniers dans la conception des programmes, d'établir des partenariats avec les écoles locales, les services de santé publique et d'autres organisations communautaires, d'adapter, de traduire et de produire des ressources, et d'offrir des activités et des programmes pour les jeunes afin de contribuer à combler certaines lacunes. Grâce à une communauté de pratique et à un soutien individualisé, le CHSSN aide les organismes communautaires à renforcer leurs connaissances, à travailler en réseau et à résoudre les problèmes liés à la mise en œuvre de leur programme.

Within the Youth Mental Health Initiative’s (YMHI) second year, CHSSN supported 27 community organizations with over 373 partnerships across 12 regions of Quebec including three provincial organizations, with the central goal of improving the access of mental health services and resources to Quebec’s English-speaking youth between the ages of 15-29. Each organization has worked to identify gaps in youth mental health services; engage youth in program design; partner with local schools, public health services and other community organizations; adapt, translate, and produce resources; and offer activities and programs for young people to help fill some of the gaps. Through a community of practice and individualized support, CHSSN helped community organizations to build their knowledge, network with each other and problemsolve on program implementation.

The Best-Treated Minority in the World : Historical and Discursive Analysis of a Cliché - Donovan, Patrick (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2022)
Politicians, polemicists, and others have long referred to Quebec’s Englishspeaking community as the “best-treated minority in the world.”1 This loaded phrase has also been used to describe other minorities: French speakers within Canada as a whole, Indigenous peoples in Canada, and religious groups and minorities in many European and colonial contexts. Through a historical overview and discourse analysis, this paper traces how the phrase has been used and abused, justified, and criticized over time. The particular focus is the Quebec context. There, we see a shift from a largely consensual use of the phrase across all language groups to one that becomes increasingly divisive and problematic from the 1980s on. This shift parallels the English-speaking community’s evolving sense of itself as a minority in decline.

This report analyzes the tourist offer in the eastern part of Quebec’s Lower North Shore, particularly the municipality of Bonne-Espérance, a region where English speakers make up the majority of the population. It focuses specifically on an institution in one of these municipalities, the Whiteley Museum. The report provides the authors’ suggestions to improve tourism development as a means to diversify the economy, potentially help reverse demographic decline, and build community vitality.

Understanding the Long-term Care Experience of Official Language Minorities in Canada: An Environmental Scan - Hsu, Amy T.; Ménard, Alixe; Scott, Mary (2022)
Members of minority and racialized communities across Canada commonly experience disparities in health and healthcare. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, minority and racialized individuals have been found to report poorer health outcomes and added barriers to healthcare access. While there is growing understanding of the impact of COVID-19 on individuals who live and work in residential long-term care (LTC) homes and other congregate care settings, little attention has been directed at examining inequities in the care experience and care-related outcomes that equity-seeking groups, including Official Language Minority Communities (OLMC), face within LTC. It’s clear that there is a need for systemic change within LTC; the pandemic, especially in its first two waves, highlighted several pre-existing issues within this sector. To ensure high-quality and equitable care for all aging Canadians, these system-level changes must be informed by evidence.

Comprendre l’expérience des soins de longue durée des minorités de langue officielle au Canada : état des lieux - Hsu, Dre. Amy T; Ménard, Alixe; Scott, Mary (2022)
Les membres des communautés racisées et en situation minoritaire du Canada vivent souvent des disparités en matière de santé et de soins de santé. Dans le contexte de la pandémie de COVID-19, on a constaté que les personnes membres d’une minorité et les personnes racisées signalaient de moins bons résultats de santé et des barrières supplémentaires à l’accès aux soins de santé. Bien que l’on comprenne de plus en plus l’incidence de la COVID-19 sur les personnes vivant et travaillant dans des établissements de soins de longue durée (SLD) et dans d’autres établissements de soins collectifs, on a porté peu d’attention à l’examen des inégalités dans l’expérience des soins et des résultats liés aux soins auxquels font face les groupes en quête d’équité, y compris les communautés de langue officielle en situation minoritaire (CLOSM). Il est clair qu’il faut apporter des changements systémiques au sein du secteur des SLD; la pandémie, surtout au cours de ses deux premières vagues, a mis en lumière plusieurs problèmes préexistants dans ce secteur. Pour assurer des soins de grande qualité et équitables pour tous les Canadien(ne)s âgés, ces changements au niveau du système doivent être fondés sur des données probantes.

The Effects of the Pandemic on the Arts & Creative Sector in Québec : How Anglophone Artists, Creators, and Performers are Faring in a Time of Adversity - Eraso, Cecilia (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2022)
The arts, entertainment, and recreation sector is infamous for being in a state of constant flux. The experience of consecutive short-term contracts and annual seasonal employment terminations is a familiar reality for many creators, producers, and performers in Québec (Jeannotte, 2021). What is unique for some Québec artists is the experience of a linguistic divide in the provincial arts sector. In 2016, English-speaking artists in the province earned less than their Francophone counterparts, on average, making a median income of “85 cents for every $1 made by Francophone artists’’ (Hill, 2020). On the national level, statistics from the 2016 Canadian Census show that Anglophone artists from Québec have a lower median income than the rest of Canadian artists. These findings are especially surprising when considering that, nationally, English-speakers in Québec represent a significant portion of Canadian artists. Anglophones in Québec account for 4.6% of all Canadian artists, despite only representing 2.8% of the Canadian labour force (Hill, 2020). The data indicate that two factors, occupation and language, are related to discrepancies in income levels in Québec.

Améliorer la santé et le bien-être des aînés d’expression anglaise vivants dans les Laurentides au Québec - Helou, Rola; Finch, Lois; Richardson, Mary (4Korners, 2022)
La présente évaluation des besoins a été réalisée à la demande du Réseau communautaire des Laurentides 4Korners, un organisme caritatif canadien enregistré qui a été fondé en 2005 dans le but de faire connaître aux citoyens des Laurentides les programmes et les services qui répondent à leurs besoins dans un environnement sécuritaire et inclusif. Elle a pour objectif de déterminer les besoins de la population âgée d’expression anglaise des Laurentides et de vérifier si ces besoins sont présentement satisfaits. Cette évaluation a été menée par le Conseil scolaire des Premières Nations en éducation des adultes, en collaboration avec la firme de consultants S.O.A.R. Solutions. Les travaux ont été réalisés sous la supervision du Comité d’évaluation des besoins des aînés (SNAC), lequel est composé de membres du personnel de 4Korners, du Elders’ Community Worker du Centre de santé Kanesatake, de bénévoles et de consultants en projets du Conseil scolaire des Premières Nations en éducation des adultes.

Vers un projet de loi 96 plus efficace : Inclusion des Québécois d'expression anglaise dans la promotion et la protection de la langue française via l'emploi - Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT) (2022)
Lors de sa présentation du 12 novembre 2021 portant sur sa vision économique pour le Québec, le premier ministre Legault a réitéré l’engagement du gouvernement à réduire l’écart de richesse entre l’Ontario et le Québec et à augmenter la prospérité du Québec (Gouvernement du Québec, 2021a). La situation économique du Québec peut être considérée avec optimisme. Un rapport récent de Scotiabank Economics (2021) indiquait que le Québec connaissait une forte reprise économique et qu’il devançait les autres provinces canadiennes « en matière d’expansion économique pour la première fois dans l’histoire ». La vision économique que le gouvernement a pour la province repose sur cinq piliers importants, dont le développement d’une forte main-d’oeuvre. Cependant, le Québec est confronté à certaines difficultés, notamment un sévère manque de main-d’oeuvre qui, dans le deuxième trimestre de 2021, comptait plus de 190 000 postes vacants, ce qui place la province au deuxième rang après l’Ontario (Statistics Canada, 2021). Il est évident par l’annonce récente du plan « Opération main-d’oeuvre », doté d’un budget de 3,9 milliards de dollars pour lutter contre le manque de main-d’oeuvre, que le gouvernement du Québec voit comme une priorité la résolution de cette crise, et vise à s’assurer qu’aucun Québécois ne soit laissé pour compte (Gouvernement du Québec, 2021b).
