This portrait has been completed by Townshippers’ Association and the Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN), in collaboration with the Centre de santé et des services sociaux Val-Saint-François and the Richmond & Region Community Learning Center. Townshippers’ Association is a non-profit, non-partisan community organization focused on promoting and supporting the interests of the English-speaking minority community in the Eastern Townships region of Quebec. The Association was founded in 1979 to ensure the English-speaking community would remain visible despite a declining population. Through a variety of initiatives, Townshippers’ works to strengthen the community and culture of English-speaking Townshippers, open doors of opportunity for youth and promote access to health, social and other services in English. Townshippers’ also strives to encourage the active participation of English-speakers in all aspects of the greater community, in order to help the English-speaking community of the Eastern Townships build bridges with their French-speaking neighbours. The main objective of this portrait is to contribute to a more in-depth understanding of the English-speaking community of Richmond and the surrounding area, in order to inform future actions.
