The Decline of the English School System in Quebec - Bourhis, Richard Y.; Foucher, Pierre (Canadian Institute for Research on Linguistic Minorities (CIRLM), 2012)
With the adoption of the Charter of the French Language by the Parti Québécois in 1977, Quebec Anglophones were most concerned about the erosion of their educational institutions resulting not only from the out-migration of Anglophones and Allophones to the rest of Canada (ROC), but also from the Bill 101 law stipulating that international immigrants to Quebec could no longer choose to send their children to English schools (Mallea, 1984). Thus, following Bill 101, Quebec Anglophones could no longer count on immigrants to maintain the demographic base necessary to keep open key English medium schools across the province (McAndrew, 2002). However by 1982, Anglophones, as English mother tongue “rights holders”, could now count on their right to English schooling in Quebec as enshrined in Article 23 of the Canadian Constitution.

2012 K.I.D.S Summer Camp - Fequet, Shelley (Coasters Association, 2012)
In the summer of 2006, a six (6) week summer camp pilot project was undertaken in the Municipalities of Bonne Esperance and St. Augustine to provide a Summer Camp for youth. The summer camp entitled Kindness, Inspiration, Determination, Spirit, “KIDS”, has proven to be a great success. The mission of KIDS Summer Camp is to nurture and develop a safe and healthy environment in which youth can improve their health and obtain skills that will assist them in their future lives, through physical activities, mental development, artistic growth, environment awareness and community/family participation. In 2007, the Coasters Association expanded the KIDS Summer Camp to two (2) additional communities (La Tabatiere, and Blanc Sablon), as well worked in partnership with, and supported, the Eau-Naturelle Discovery Camp in Chevery, and the two (2) camps already established were maintained. In 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 the five camps were in operation and ran very well.

L'économie créative et les communautés anglophones au Québec: Rapport préparé pour Industrie Canada par Tracy Zhang - Zhang, Tracy (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2012)
L’économie créative et les communautés anglophones au Québec présente les résultats préliminaires d’une étude comprenant un groupe de discussion, des entrevues privées avec des intervenants clés et des recherches documentaires. Le rapport démontre que l’idée d’économie créative est utile au suivi du développement culturel et économique des communautés anglophones du Québec (CAQ). Les anglophones québécois constituent la plus importante communauté minoritaire de langue officielle provinciale au Canada. Au cours des dernières décennies, la composition de cette population est devenue de plus en plus complexe et multiculturelle. Parallèlement à ces changements démographiques, l’influence de la culture anglophone québécoise a aussi évolué. On dit qu’une proportion particulièrement élevée d’anglophones est engagée dans le secteur des arts, de la culture et du patrimoine. Dans ce contexte, les organismes du secteur jouent un rôle croissant dans le développement socioéconomique des CAQ. Le présent rapport révèle les préoccupations grandissantes des représentants de certains organismes de ce type qui ont participé à l’étude en ce qui a trait à la manière d’appliquer la théorie de l’économie créative de façon à créer des modèles de développement culturel et économique efficaces pour les CAQ.

The Creative Economy and the English Speaking Communities in Quebec : Report Submitted to Industry Canada by Tracy Zhang on Behalf of the Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN) - Zhang, Tracy (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2012)
The Creative Economy and English-Speaking Communities in Quebec presents preliminary research results based on a focus group, private key informant interviews, and bibliographical research. It demonstrates that the concepts of the creative economy are useful in charting cultural and economic development for the English-speaking communities in Quebec (ESCQ). The English-speaking population in Quebec forms the largest provincial Official Language Minority Community in Canada. In recent decades, the composition of this population has become increasingly complex and multicultural. Parallel to this demographic shift, the influence of English-language Quebec culture has also evolved. English-speakers are said to have a high participation rate in the arts, culture and heritage sectors. In this context, organizations from these sectors are increasingly involved in supporting the socioeconomic development of the ESCQ. This report reflects growing concerns on the part of representatives of some of these organizations who participated in the study over how to apply the creative economy theory to generate effective models of cultural-economic development for the ESCQ.

In the Know : Identifying Multiple Aspects of Quebec's Community Sector - Centre des organismes communautaires / Centre for community organizations (2012)
In October of 2008, The Centre for Community Organizations (COCo) began a community research project to help develop a better understanding of the diversity of groups working for social change in Québec. The study, “In the Know: Identifying multiple aspects of Québec’s community sector”, was supported by the Secretariat à l’Action Communautaire Autonome et aux Initiatives Sociales (SACAIS) and aimed to survey English-speaking, bilingual and ethno-cultural community groups across Québec over a three year period. The research was carried out between 2009 and 2012.

The Literacy and Essential Skills Needs of Quebec's Anglophone Adults - Centre for Literacy (CFL) (2012)
Understanding the Literacy and Essential Skills Needs of Quebec’s Anglophone Adults,1 Phase 1, was a project designed to deepen knowledge and understanding of the literacy and essential skills (LES) needs of Anglophone adults living in Quebec as a basis to more effectively serve Englishspeaking communities across the province. The issue was first identified in a publication by Statistics Canada of the 2003 IALSS results for Canada’s official language minorities (discussed in detail in Sections Three and Four) which showed large disparities in literacy performance among Quebec Anglophones (Corbeil 2006: 20). The findings suggested differences in needs from one community to another that may require targeted services.

Strategic Plan 2012-2017 - Coasters Association (2012)
The Lower North Shore of Québec stretches from Blanc Sablon (at the Labrador border) to Kegaska (opposite the eastern tip of Anticosti Island). Sixteen (16) communities, including the two (2) native communities of Pakua Shipi and Uanamen Shipu, are spread along 400 kilometres of rugged coastline, and in most cases are accessible only by boat, plane or snowmobile (in winter). Due to the vastness and isolation of the region, transportation costs are extremely high and often unreliable due to extreme weather conditions. This remote region, which is majority English-speaking, has witnessed a significant decline in population over the last few decades due to the collapse of the region’s main economic activity (the cod & salmon fishery), and the decline in the snow crab fishery. It is estimated that approximately half of the region’s adult population leaves the Coast at some time during the year to secure employment elsewhere. Many leave the territory for several months at a time while their family remains on the Lower North Shore which results in social dislocation as, in some cases, both parents leave for work and their children are housed with grandparents or other family members. Many social challenges have emerged from the changing circumstances, such as caring for the elderly, and many youth leave and do not return due to the lack of job opportunities.

Saint Brigid's and its Foundation : A Tradition of Caring Since 1856 - Donovan, Patrick (Jeffery Hale - Saint Brigids (JHSB), 2012)
Excursions have always been part of Saint Brigid’s history. In the summer of 1894, the orphans piled into horse-drawn trams and wagons headed for the rural hinterland of Sainte Foy, where they enjoyed a picnic on Mr. Boyce’s farm. While horse-drawn trams are a thing of the past, and Sainte Foy now has more parking lots than farms, the home’s residents still enjoy trips to see the fall colours, go fishing, or enjoy a spot of shopping. In the following pages, the SAINT BRIGID’S HOME FOUNDATION invites you on a different sort of journey: a trip through time that takes you from the beginnings of the home to the present day.

Programme d’accès aux services de santé et aux services sociaux en langue anglaise pour les personnes d’expression anglaise : 2012-2015 - Labrecque, Edith; Paquette, Brigitte (Jeffery Hale - Saint Brigid's (JHSB), 2012)
En novembre 2010, le ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux (MSSS) demandait aux agences de procéder à la révision du programme d’accès aux services de santé et aux services sociaux en langue anglaise pour les personnes d’expression anglaise de leur région respective. Le dernier programme d’accès, élaboré par l’Agence de la santé et des services sociaux de la Capitale-Nationale, avait été approuvé par ce même ministère en décembre 2007. Conformément à la loi, ces programmes doivent être révisés tous les trois ans, ce qui implique la mise en place d’une démarche permettant d’assurer leur actualisation. Ce travail permet donc de revoir la situation prévalant actuellement dans la région à l’intention de la population d’expression anglaise, d’apporter les bonifications nécessaires afin de mieux répondre à leurs besoins, et ce, en matière d’accessibilité, de continuité, de complémentarité et de qualité dans les services offerts. Il implique nécessairement un grand nombre de partenaires provenant de divers établissements de la région.

Socio-demographic Profile of Children Aged 0 to 5 and their Parents : Province of Québec - Pocock, Joanne (Community Health and Social Services Network, 2012)
Early child development (ECD) is a cornerstone of human development and childhood is considered to be the most important developmental phase of the individual lifespan. The developmental outcomes of this early phase of life impact the level of health and well-being enjoyed by a population in its future. Early child development is a social determinant of the health of communities and it is a process that is particularly sensitive to social determinants like the socio-economic status of families with children aged 0-5 and their social environment, access to health and social services, communication competency and literacy and access to local social support networks.

Language Training Program : Frame of Reference 2010-2013 - Dialogue McGill (2011)
The McGill Training and Retention of Health Professionals Project seeks to contribute to Government of Quebec initiatives aimed at ensuring that English-speaking Quebecers have access to the full range of health and social services in their language. To this end it proposes a series of measures to train, hire and retain an adequate workforce for delivering health services and social services in English. The Project objectives are to a) improve the capacity of the health and social services network to serve English speakers in their language and b) increase the participation of English-speaking professionals in Quebec’s health and social services system. The achievement of these goals depends on a solid partnership between McGill University and the ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux (MSSS). A MSSS-McGill joint committee has been formed to oversee the implementation and monitoring of the various Project measures.

Les objectifs du Projet sont d’améliorer la capacité du réseau de la santé et des services sociaux de répondre aux besoins des personnes d’expression anglaise dans leur langue et d’accroître la participation des professionnels d’expression anglaise dans le système québécois de santé et de services sociaux. L’atteinte de ces objectifs repose sur un partenariat entre l’Université McGill et le ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux. Un comité conjoint MSSS-McGill est formé afin d’assurer la mise en œuvre et le suivi de l’ensemble des mesures du Projet.

Understanding Literacy and Family Literacy Needs of Anglophone Adults in Quebec : Research Summaries - The Centre for Literacy of Quebec (CFL) (2011)
The Understanding literacy and family literacy needs of Anglophone adults in Quebec project aimed to deepen knowledge and understanding of the literacy and essential skills (LES) needs of Anglophone adults living in Quebec as a basis to more effectively serve English-speaking communities across the province. The issue was first identified in a publication by Statistics Canada of the 2003 IALSS results for Canada’s official language minorities which showed large disparities in literacy performance among Quebec Anglophones. The findings suggested differences in need from one community to another that may require targeted services. This project set out to fill this knowledge gap and to insert LES into the ongoing discussion about Anglophones in Quebec. All Quebec English-language umbrella groups stand to benefit from the findings in terms of proposing better policy, planning new services and using resources more efficiently. There may be opportunities for new partnerships to develop solutions to some challenges not previously seen as linked to literacy. The project will also provide a useful road map for identifying promising new research avenues that would assist LES organizations in getting a more detailed picture of the communities they are aiming to serve.

Lower North Shore Youth Employability Forum - Fequet Griffin, Priscilla (Coasters Association, 2011)
The 2011 Lower North Shore Youth Employability Forum was coordinated to provide the youth on the Lower North Shore with a two day intensive training on employability skills and provide them a forum to discuss with our Council of Mayors and leading community organizations and institutions the labour force market on the Lower North Shore. The projected outcome of the forum was to expand youth’s awareness of the shortages in labour in certain skilled trades sectors of employment and to improve opportunities for youth living in smaller, rural communities where jobs and employment services are more difficult to find. Thus, the skills developed during the two day forum will allow youth to further develop their capacity to enter into the labour force and raise awareness around labour opportunities on the Lower North Shore.

Baseline Data Report 2010-2011 : English-language Health and Social Services Access in Quebec - Pocock, Joanne (Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN), 2011)
The 2010-2011 Baseline Data Report relays the health and social service findings of the 2010 CHSSN-CROP Survey on Community Vitality Survey and compares them with the findings of the 2005 survey. In order to facilitate the five year comparison the design of the present report reproduces, as much as possible, that of the 2005-2006 BDR. The commonalities and distinct features of regional communities within the English-speaking provincial population are delineated as well as sub-groups defined by gender, age, household income, health status and level of bilingualism. While this report is limited to the health and social service sector, the Survey on Community Vitality also collects the opinions, perceptions and expectations of a representative sample of English-speaking Quebecers in each region of Quebec with respect to issues in education, manpower development, culture and communications. The 2010 study replicates a previous survey conducted by CROP in 2000 for the Missisquoi Institute and again in 2005 for the CHSSN. A survey was also done among a representative sample of French-speaking Quebecers on the same issues. These results are not presented in this report.

This study revealed several opportunities to increase the quantity and quality of production, which have previously been overlooked, because of a lack of consistent/persistent consultations with a variety of interlocutors. These include: CRTC, Canada Media Fund, Telefilm and Société de développement des enterprises culturelles (SODEC), as well as television broadcasters, including Vidéotron/VOX, which have a responsibility to support or produce community-based television for its English-language subscribers. This study also revealed that a good deal of radio production with strong local content is being created, which could be more widely distributed via the web. A web-based cyber portal could be created to aggregate existing content and make it available to all English-speaking communities throughout Quebec.

Public Health Action Plan for the English-Speaking Community in the Capitale-Nationale Region 2011-2015 - Jeffery Hale - Saint Brigid's (JHSB) (2011)
Saint Brigid’s – Jeffery Hale Hospital’s Public Health Action Plan for the English- Speaking Community in the Capitale-Nationale Region is in keeping with the Plan d’action regional (PAR) en santé publique 2009-2012 (regional public health action plan) developed by the Agence de la santé et des services sociaux de la Capitale-Nationale (Agence). To ensure viable results for our efforts aimed at improving the health and well-being of the English-speaking community, we thought it relevant to begin by presenting an updated portrait of the English-speaking community in the CNR. This portrait allows us to identify the various needs of the community, as well as its health determinants and indicators, and take stock of its ongoing evolution. This description is followed by a detailed presentation of Saint Brigid’s – Jeffery Hale Hospital’s prevention and health promotion Service Offer.

Bill 103 : Collective Rights and the Declining Vitality of the English-speaking Communities of Quebec - Bourhis, Richard Y.; Foucher, Pierre (Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN), 2010)
The first part of this brief deals with the declining vitality of the English speaking communities of Quebec (ESCQ) and the strength of the dominant Québécois francophone majority in the Province. We argue that a key premise of Bill 103 is based on the erroneous notion that the French language and its speakers are threatened in the Province of Quebec. This false premise brings the current government to draft Bill 103 with regulations making it virtually impossible for Allophone and immigrant children to be approved as pupils in the publicly funded English schools of the Province. As the past Education Minister Michele Courchesne stated on June 3rd 2010 “I won’t deny that the objective (of Bill 103) is to have as few as possible (approved)”.

Training and Human Resources Development Project : Final Report - Dialogue McGill (2010)
McGill University’s 2004-2008 Training and Human Resources Development Project sought to contribute to improving English-speaking Quebecers’ access in their own language to the range of health and social services offered to the general population. The 2004-2008 Project was funded through Health Canada’s program to support Quebec initiatives for improving access to health care and social services for English speakers. It was sponsored by McGill University’s Faculty of Arts and administered by its English and French Language Center in conjunction with its School of Social Work. The budget allocated for the 2004- 2008 period was $ 11,757,828. The project had two objectives: to ensure effective communication between English-speakers and the health and social services workers serving them and to increase the participation of English-speaking professionals in the Quebec health and social services network.

Business Vitality Initiative : Community Handbook - Community Economic Development and Employability Corporation (CEDEC) (2010)
If you’re not asking these questions, it’s unlikely you’re maximizing the potential of your community. Communities identifying their strengths, their gaps and their unexplored opportunities— that is what’s behind the BVI, a measurement and action process that helps communities harness their business potential. It has been designed to help communities assess their capacity to work with and support entrepreneurs, and to foster business growth. The BVI has been employed in communities across Canada (and recently in Australia) by a team based in Nelson, BC. The CIEL/BVI Team has been nominated for BC’s top award in community economic development and most recently won an award as the region’s most innovative organization. The BVI measures the perceptions of community leaders, business people and citizens about the current business environment in the community and compares the scores to those from other communities using a unique graphical index (the Business Vitality Index).

Business Vitality Initiative : Facilitator Handbook - Community Economic Development and Employability Corporation (CEDEC) (2010)
The Purpose of this Manual: The BVI includes two highly structured public meetings which require expert facilitation. This manual is a basic resource for facilitators. Other necessary resources include: • The BVI PowerPoint presentation • The BVI Community Handbook • Discussions with CIEL management • Discussions with the Community Sponsor • A BVI Assessment Report and Final Report from another community

2010 KIDS Summer Camp - Thomas, Jenny (Coasters Association, 2010)
Each year the KIDS Summer Camps accommodates the youth and parents in five (5) municipalities across the Lower North Shore (Blanc Sablon. St. Paul’s River, St. Augustine, La Tabatiere and the Eau-Naturelle Discovery Camp in Chevery). These camps provide a safe and happy environment, a unique learning experience for all those involved, as well as assist the camp counsellors with leadership skills that will help them in their future endeavours. It is a place where youth can interact with other youth in an adventurous, natural and spiritual environment. Therefore, the continuation and expansion of the KIDS Summer Camp is an important service to the population of the Lower North Shore.

Our brief deals with the declining vitality of the English-speaking communities of Quebec (ESCQ) and the relative strength of the Francophone majority. The QCGN‟s goal is to demonstrate that our minority communities are not a threat to the majority, but a constituency that strengthens Quebec society. We expose the detrimental effect that Quebec's habit of emphasising an exclusionary notion of its society has on its minority population. Finally, we seek to attain official recognition of the historic and ongoing contributions our minority makes to Quebec society and achieve legal protection of minority rights and freedoms.

Soumis au Comité spécial Mourir avec Dignité par Le conseil catholique d’expression anglaise - The English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) (2010)
En 1980, nous, un group d’individus représentant divers secteurs de la communauté Catholique anglophone et ses organisations, nous sommes réunis dans le but de consolider nos ressources humaines et matérielles, en vue du développement de notre communauté. Cela a mené, en 1981, à la création du Conseil catholique d’expression anglaise (CCEA), ayant le mandat d’agir comme point central dans la coordination de la communauté Catholique anglophone de la région urbaine de Montréal. Au cours des ans, l’CCEA a assumé un rôle plus proéminant, élargissant son activité à toute la province et au-delà. S’inspirant de la compréhension Catholique contemporaine du rôle de la communauté laïque dans le monde moderne, Le conseil catholique d’expression anglaise aide à promouvoir les valeurs de sa communauté, et défend ces valeurs dans le processus de résolution des problèmes ayant un impact sur cette communauté. Le conseil d’administration se compose d’hommes et de femmes du secteur public et privé, tous bénévoles, qui s’engagent à appuyer leur communauté dans les domaines de l’éducation, de la santé et des services sociaux, de l’animation sociale, de la culture et de la justice sociale.

Submitted to the Select Committee on Dying with Dignity - The English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) (2010)
In 1980, a group of individuals who represented various sectors of the English-speaking Catholic community and its organizations met with the idea of consolidating our human and material resources for the development of our community. This led to the formation in 1981 of the English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) with a mandate to act as a focal point in coordinating the English-speaking Catholic community of Greater Montreal. Over the years, the ESCC has assumed a higher profile which now extends throughout the Province and beyond. Inspired by the contemporary Catholic understanding of the role of the laity in the modern world, the English Speaking Catholic Council assists in the promotion of its community’s values and advocates those values in the resolution of issues affecting this community. The Board of Directors is made up of women and men from both the private and public sectors, all volunteers, who come together with a commitment to support their community in education, health and social services, community animation, culture and social justice.

Review of Key Documents on the English-language Film/TV/Media Production Industry in Quebec for the English-language Arts Network of Quebec - Magnetic North Associates (English-Language Arts Network (ELAN), 2010)
Responding to anecdotal evidence from their members, the Quebec chapters of ACTRA and DGC commissioned a major study of English-language production in Quebec based on CAVCO data (Appendix I). This 2008 report was titled “Going…Going…Gone: The Decline of English-language Production in Quebec 1996-7 to 2006-7”, and it demonstrated several long term trends in domestic production.

Survey of the English-language Film/TV/Media Industry in Quebec for the English-language Arts Network of Quebec with funding from Telefilm Canada - Magnetic North Associates (English-Language Arts Network (ELAN), 2010)
There has been a significant shift in the demographic profile of the English-Quebec production industry since the last similar survey of English-Quebec producers in 2003. Today’s industry is more female, has fewer immigrants, and is much more bilingual. Sixty two per cent say they speak fluent French. This demographic shift may be caused by the departure of members of the industry with poorer French language skills or an increase in language skills.
