Baseline Data Report 2008-2009 : Regional Profiles of Quebec's English-speaking Communities Selected 1996-2006 Census Findings - Pocock, Joanne; Warnke, Jan (Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN), 2009)
The Baseline Data Report 2009 uses 2006 census information to provide Quebec’s Englishspeaking regional communities with a view of their current position with respect to selected health determinants and, where possible, change and continuity since the census findings of 1996. It is the first report in the series of Baseline Data Reports produced since 2004 to situate these communities in an evolving ten year trend.

High-quality Teachers and Administrators for English-language Schools in Québec : Preparation, Induction and Support - Advisory Board on English Education (2009)
The Advisory Board on English Education begins by commending the teachers and principals of the English-language schools of the province for the crucial work they do in educating the future citizens of Québec, Canada, and the world. Education has always been an important preoccupation of English-speaking Quebeckers. Graduates of English-language schools have contributed greatly to the institutions of the province, and the schoolhouse has traditionally provided a focal point for rural populations of the community. Worldwide, there is a recognition that education must change to accommodate the needs of twenty-first century graduates, and that therefore the curriculum and teachers must also change. Many countries have developed initiatives that aim to prepare, support, and retain teachers more effectively than in the past, and to encourage young people to become teachers, especially in disciplines such as science and mathematics, seen as necessary for living in contemporary society. Our goal in this brief is to respond to the preoccupation that the English-language schools of Québec need even more good teachers and principals who, in turn, need more appropriate preparation and more support so that they do not leave the profession but continue to develop within it.

Pour un personnel enseignant et un personnel de direction hautement qualifiés dans les écoles anglophones du Québec : Préparation, orientation et soutien - Advisory Board on English Education (2009)
La Commission de l’éducation en langue anglaise tient à louer le travail crucial des enseignants et enseignantes ainsi que celui des directeurs et directrices des écoles de la province qui éduquent les futurs citoyens du Québec, du Canada et du monde. Les Québécois anglophones se sont toujours beaucoup souciés de l’éducation. Les diplômés des écoles de langue anglaise contribuent énormément aux institutions de la province, et l’école a toujours été un foyer de convergence des populations rurales anglophones. L’opinion mondiale est unanime : l’éducation doit évoluer pour que les diplômés répondent aux besoins du XXIe siècle. C’est dire que les programmes et les enseignants doivent changer aussi. Beaucoup de nations ont conçu des initiatives qui visent à préparer, aider et retenir en poste les enseignants de manière plus efficace que par le passé de même qu’à encourager les jeunes à devenir enseignants, surtout dans des disciplines comme les sciences et la mathématique, si nécessaires à la société contemporaine. Le but de ce mémoire est de répondre à une préoccupation particulière, à savoir que les écoles anglophones du Québec ont besoin d’un plus grand nombre de bons enseignants et directeurs qui, à leur tour, doivent être mieux préparés et soutenus pour se perfectionner et s’épanouir dans la profession au lieu de la quitter.

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.

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.

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.

Ladies' Protestant Home 1859-2009 : 150 Years of History - Donovan, Patrick; Hayes, Ashli (2009)
This is the story of how, for the past 150 years, English-speakers in Quebec saw needs in the community and reached out to meet them. The Ladies’ Protestant Home was founded in 1859, a time when epidemics, poor work conditions, and frequent urban fires made life difficult for the poor. There was a crying need for institutions to help out. In its early years, the Home provided temporary shelter for poor and destitute Protestant immigrant women. Its mandate evolved over the years, with an increasing focus on serving the elderly from the 1950’s onward. The Home eventually reached out to non-Protestants, Francophones, and men before closing down in 1990. For the past two decades, the Quebec Ladies’ Home Foundation has continued to manage assets from the Home's sale towards the purpose of providing health and social services to English-speakers in Quebec City.

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.

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.

Furthermore it provides a vital service to the parents who have no other option but leave the coast for 3 to 4 months out of a year to seek employment elsewhere.

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.

The McGill Training and Human Resource Development Project contributes to other Quebec government initiatives aimed at ensuring that English-speaking people in Quebec enjoy equitable access, in their own language, to the full range of health and social services available to the general population. 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.

Building Better Futures for Our Children - Coasters Association (2008)
Early Childhood Development (ECD) is an umbrella term referring to the first developmental stage in a child’s life. Between the ages of 0-5, children experience a rush of accelerated growth…physically, mentally, emotionally, morally, and socially. A child’s brain development in the first six years of life sets the foundation for lifelong learning, behaviour, and health. The education, care and attention children receive from their parents and other caregivers during this crucial period have a decisive effect on their personal futures as well as on the economy and society in general. The following is a report that outlines the activities that were carried out throughout the project for Early Childhood Development. The main goal of this project was to identify the resources, programs, services, and the needs of each community on the Lower North Shore in regards to youth aged 0-5 and as a result increase the resources available to support early childhood programs on the Coast.

"A Matter of Services - Addressing the Health Issues" : October 2004 to March 2008 - Jones, Ida (Coasters Association, 2008)
The Coasters Association Inc. received a project from Health Canada entitled, “A matter of Services - Addressing the Health Issues” through the Quebec Community Group Network partners. The HSSNPI started on October 18th, 2004. In the first phase, we have accomplished the establishment of a networking committee called the Lower North Shore Coalition for Health (LNSCH). This committee steers the HSSNPI program and approves the data evidence plans generated. Surveys were created and focus groups held on topics (youth and children, women’s issues, wait times and post care, transportation and lodging, and drugs and alcohol) to determine the Health and Social Service needs of the population, this information was instrumental in the planning for the second phase. A synopsis of the current actions and history of the organizations involved in the LNSCH was completed. The mission of the project is to support the development of the capacity of Quebec’s English-speaking communities, to ensure their vitality through cooperation and partnership with the health and social services system, in order to improve and to develop and maintain access to the full range of services for Quebec’s English - speaking minority communities.

The HSSNPI aims to support the creation of durable links and joint action between English-speaking communities and Quebec’s health and social services system. The Baseline Data Report is a series produced by the Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN) to serve as a relevant and comprehensive knowledge base regarding the health status and vitality of Quebec’s English‐speaking population. The report is intended to serve as a resource that will allow local communities to better understand the demographic factors and health determinants affecting them and to assist institutional partners and community leaders to develop strategies to improve the well‐being of their constituencies.

Lower North Shore Heritage Workbook : Following in the Footsteps of the Explorers - Anderson, Monica; Benoit, Kristina; Blattel, Adrienne; Cochrance, Candace (Coasters Association, 2008)
History is the study of past human events and activities. Studying history can help us better understand where we come from and therefore who we are as people. Historians have a lot in common with explorers, only they are traveling through time AND place. They hunt for clues about how people lived and acted in the past. To do this, they must use a lot of tools such as books, original documents, drawings and maps, and artefacts. They talk to people who might have lived through the time they are studying or who know stories handed down from that time. Some, like the movie character Indiana Jones, take a pick and shovel to dig in the earth to find answers to their question about the past. After they have found as much information as possible, they piece their story together and present it in books, museum exhibits, or documentaries. Being an historian takes patience and hard work but, like exploring, it can also be exciting to find out new things about olden times.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Kids Summer Camp - Newcombe, Vanessa (Coasters Association, 2007)
In the summer of 2006, we embarked on a six (6) week summer camp pilot project in the Municipalities of Bonne Esperance and St. Augustine to provide a Youth Summer Camp for children between the ages of six to twelve. The summer camp entitled Kindness, Inspiration, Determination, Spirit, “KIDS” has proven to be a great success. This year the goal was to expand our efforts to include the communities of Chevery, La Tabatiere, and Blanc Sablon, as well as to continuing the camps already established (St. Augustine, St. Paul’s River).

We agree with the Commission that “the management of diversity, especially religious diversity... appears above all to pose a problem.” The appearance of a problem seems to have been provoked in large measure by post 9/11 “alarmist media coverage.” Careful reflection will show that there is no problem in reality and that the alarm is not worthy of Quebecers. The ESCC therefore counsels strongly against the temptation to tamper with the current constellation of relevant rights and privileges in Quebec; it is a product of the unique evolution of Quebec society and functions well as “a fair, original model of collective life of which we are proud.”

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.

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.

Literacy Access Project : Lifelong Learning Collections - The Centre for Literacy of Quebec (CFL) (2007)
The Literacy Access Project represents the second phase of a larger initiative undertaken by The Centre for Literacy to formally assess and adjust its local mandate. The ultimate goal of this strategic effort was to formulate a long-term sustainability plan in the context of important changes that have been taking place in the English community in Quebec in recent years. These changes include a shrinking population base, cuts in provincial and federal funding, new responsibilities for school boards, and the recent creation of community learning centres in various regions of the province. On the basis of a 2006 Community Consultation and building on the 2007 Summer Institute on Libraries and Literacy, The Centre determined that it needed to develop more solid and lasting links between libraries and literacy groups that support English populations.

Report on the Survey on Music and Dance Conducted by the English Language Arts Network - English Language Arts Network (ELAN) (2007)
ELAN has existed since 2005. The MAAP I survey of visual artists in 2006 was beneficial to the visual arts community. Le regroupement des artistes en arts visuels is providing more support and more than 300 visual artists joined ELAN to network with other artists. No umbrella group exists for English-speaking musicians or dancers in Quebec. The MAAP II survey wanted to know how much support musicians and dancers currently receive, where it is obtained, and what is missing. The purpose of the Minority Anglophone artists project II (MAAPII) was to reach out to the music and dance communities across Quebec to inform them of ELAN’s mandate and services and to assess the needs of Anglophone artists working in these communities. The needs of the communities were assessed by surveying Anglophone musicians and dancers on how they are pursuing their careers and what services would be useful them.

A Portrait of the Food Industry Relating to Residents of the Lower North Shore : January 2005 to March 2007 - Fequet Griffin, Priscilla; Jones, Jocelyne (Coasters, 2007)
The project entitled “A Portrait of the Food Industry relating to residents of the Lower North Shore” is sponsored by Health Canada under the Population Health Fund. The Coasters Association, Health Canada and its partners have joined forces to increase collaboration, communication and information concerning food security aimed at developing an “A Healthy Alternative Lifestyle” for the residents of the Lower North Shore. The partners have been looking at ways to ensure that citizens on the Lower North Shore have access to affordable, safe, and nutritious foods, as well as promoting education on healthy eating habits, making good food choices and the benefits of being active. Thus, a greater understanding of the different avenues to increase the accessibility of nutritional food and educating the population on making healthy lifestyle choices is necessary if there is to be any change in the health status of the Lower North Shore population.

Quebec City's Literary Heritage : A Bibliography - Donovan, Patrick (Literary & Historical Society of Quebebc, 2007)
The Literary and Historical Society of Quebec (LHSQ), founded in 1824, has a mandate to foster English-language culture in the Quebec City region and to share its diverse heritage. Literature is a vital element in this heritage, and the LHSQ has taken on a project to celebrate Quebec City’s English-language literary heritage. The first step of this project is to generate an accessible knowledge base, or bibliography. This tool will have several repercussions: book purchases for the LHSQ’s library, written articles to promote these books, and the hosting of literary events in 2007 and 2008. This project is financed by the Department of Canadian Heritage as part of the Development of Official-Language Communities Program - Community Life component.

Report of the Greater Montreal Community Development Initiative Steering Committee : Building Upon Change and Diversity within the English-speaking Communities of the Greater Montreal Region: - Greater Montreal Community Development Initiative (GMCDI) (Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN), 2007)
In the 30 years since the passage of Bill 101, the nature of the English-speaking communities of the Greater Montreal Area has changed dramatically. The evolution of the largest linguistic minority within a linguistic minority in Canada has resulted in the emergence of certain unique challenges and opportunities. It was to address these issues that the Greater Montreal Community Development Initiative (GMCDI) was launched. This initiative, funded by the Department of Canadian Heritage, is intended to assist the English-speaking communities of the Greater Montreal Area in identifying shared community development challenges and priorities, and the most effective strategies to address them.

However, we recommend some major revisions to the program. Five interrelated areas stand out for us.

La question de la régionalisation – non seulement dans le secteur de l’éducation mais dans l’ensemble de l’activité d’élaboration des politiques et de prestation des services gouvernementaux – ne date pas d’hier. Au cours des dernières années, deux gouvernements successifs ont fait de l’étude de la régionalisation et de la décentralisation une priorité, dans l’optique de rendre les politiques et les services gouvernementaux mieux adaptés aux besoins locaux et régionaux.

Decentralization, Regionalization and Adaptation (DRA) : Jamais deux sans trois - Advisory Board on English Education (2006)
The issue of regionalization—not just in education but also across the entire spectrum of government policy making and service delivery—is not a new one. In recent years two successive governments have made discussion of regionalization and decentralization a priority with a view to making government policies and services more responsive to local and regional needs.

A Study of Women's Needs on the Lower North Shore - Keats, Shannon A. (Coasters Association, 2006)
The mission of the Coasters Association is to develop knowledge of the needs and expectations of the fourteen (14) communities on the Lower North Shore, and act in partnership with community leaders, organizations and stakeholders to design and deliver community strategies, programs and services which respond to the region’s development challenges. In keeping with their mission and providing an opportunity to better the situation of women on the Lower North Shore, a project entitled “A Study of the Needs of Women on the Lower North Shore”, was initiated. The project began on the September 12th, 2005 and ended on March 31st, 2006 (29 weeks). The key goal of the project was to get women involved and talk about the issues facing them and to identify opportunities and lasting solutions, as well as make women aware of the programs and services that are available on the coast, through partnerships with other organizations and to help these women make use of those programs. The purpose of the project was to research information through means of a questionnaire and by organizing focus groups to develop a needs assessment and to establish a coalition (for Phase 2 of the project) to improve the overall status of women on the Lower North Shore of Quebec.
