Title
Demographic Decline of English Speakers in Certain Regions of Quebec
Abstract
How is English faring in Quebec? While 2021 census data reflect a recent increase in English usage in the Montreal and Gatineau areas, a more complex portrait emerges when examining other parts of Quebec and longer time periods. The 20th century was marked by a decline in the proportion of English speakers in most Quebec regions. The trend has shifted in the past 20 years, yet a notable decline continues in parts of coastal Quebec, the Eastern Townships,
and Rouyn-Noranda.
This brief looks at regions experiencing a decline in their English-speaking populations, and considers the forces driving recent changes.
