Preliminary Analysis of Bill C-13, An Act for the Substantive Equality of Canada's Official Languages - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2021)
Like Bill C-32, the Bill retains the same overall purposes and structure of the OLA. As with Bill C-32, the Bill sets out several new Preamble clauses, additions to the OLA’s purpose clause, and new interpretive clauses. These are all largely the same as Bill C-32, although the Bill adds a few additional clauses. In the discussion below, there is no change from C-32 except where otherwise indicated. The Bill adds the following policy priorities to the OLA: First, the protection and promotion of the French language; second, the addition of new interpretive clauses; third, the continued recognition of English and French linguistic minority communities (OLMC’s); third, the recognition of provincial language regimes including the Charter of the French Language. Finally, the Bill adds additional mention of Indigenous languages and a mention that the OLA applies in emergencies

The Government of Canada’s paper on official language reform captures important demands made by the English-speaking community of Quebec during consultative processes related to the modernization of the Official Languages Act. There is reason for optimism around proposals for an expanded role of Treasury Board and power of the Commissioner of Official Languages in the implementation of the Act. And there are opportunities for increased support to our community’s institutions and provisions for more transparency on federal transfers directed towards our vitality; proposals that are tempered by the need for provincial cooperation.

Survey of MCLL Moderator Engagement : Report to the MCLL Council - McGill Community For Lifelong Learning (MCLL) (2021)
In December 2019, Council requested that the Planning Committee create and administer a survey of moderators to inquire about their engagement in the MCLL community in the service of retaining and recruiting moderators. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak and the high-priority burden the pandemic put on various committees, the survey was delayed until late in the Fall 2020 term. This document reports on the survey results and includes, in appendices, the survey questions as well as the detailed results including all comments received by respondents.

QCGN Analysis of Quebec's Five Orientations to Modernize Canada's OfficialLanguages Act - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2021)
Quebec’s proposal belies a fundamental misunderstanding of the history, purpose, and application of the OLA. It takes direct aim at the division of powers contained in the Constitution Act, 1867, seeking to extend Quebec’s legislative jurisdiction. The Government of Quebec is demanding exclusive authority to act in matters of language, “on its territory”. This poses an existential threat to the official language rights of all Canadians, French and English.

2021 Community Vitality Survey : Black in Quebec - Black Community Resource Centre (BCRC) (2021)
This report offers a comprehensive overview of the 2021 Community Vitality Survey which was conducted by the Black in Quebec project team. Black in Quebec was launched in Fall 2019 and was a research project by the Black Community Resource Centre (BCRC) which researched the well-being and vitality of Quebec's English-speaking Black Community (ESBC). This is the third report to be released by the project team and complements the two previous research based publications. The first published report was Quebec's English-speaking Black Community: An Analysis of Outcomes and Information Gaps which was based on an assessment of currently available information pertaining to the English-speaking Black Community in Quebec. The second report to be released was entitled Black in Quebec presents: In Focus and it presented an overview of the Focus Groups conducted by the project team from May to December of 2020. This report focuses exclusively on the 2021 Community Vitality Survey which was conducted from April to June 2021 and provides a detailed overview of the survey. It is the last research based report to be released by the Black in Quebec project before the release of a final, comprehensive project summary report.

Black in Quebec : Summary Report 2020-2021 - Black Community Resource Centre (BCRC) (2021)
In Quebec, there is a population of around 320,000 people who identify as members of the Black community. In Quebec's Black community, just under 60,000 (around 1 in 5 people) are categorized as members of the English-speaking community (Statistics Canada, 2016). The Black in Quebec Project commenced in Fall 2019 with the drafting of the project and in February 2020, the Project Researcher (John Davids) and Research Assistant (Xiaoyan Fang) were hired by the BCRC. The purpose of the project is to fill the gaps in the knowledge about the English-speaking Black Community (ESBC) in Quebec. In Quebec and Canada, there is a lack of disaggregated race-base data that measures critical variables describing the socio-economic and psycho-social status of the English-speaking Black Community. Thus, when it came to exploring the state and vitality of the ESBC, there were and continues to be deficiencies in the publicly available data and knowledge. Being a study about a population that is both a racialized and linguistic minority in Quebec, the Black in Quebec Project attempts to fill some of the gaps in the collection of data, its analysis and storage. It presents an improved understanding regarding the unique situation and challenges facing the ESBC in Quebec.

Postsecondary Education in the Minority Language : An Overview and Analysis of the Issues - Mariève, Forest; Deschênes-Thériault, Guillaume (Sociopol, 2021)
The advocacy efforts of Francophone minority communities (FMCs) that followed the adoption of the Official Languages Act (1969) and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (1982) led to the development and implementation of the provincial and territorial minority-language elementary and secondary school systems. In Quebec, the implementation of the Englishlanguage elementary and secondary school system did not meet with the same level of resistance as that faced by the French-language school systems in FMCs.

Portrait des hommes et des pères de la communauté d’expression anglaise au Québec et de leur rapport aux services - un regard sociologique - Roy, Jacques (Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN), 2021)
Quel est le profil des hommes appartenant à la communauté d’expression anglaise au Québec? Sont-ils différents des autres hommes québécois, principalement des francophones? Est-ce que la pandémie les a davantage affectés? Vivent-ils des obstacles additionnels quant aux recours aux services du seul fait de leur langue? Enfin, quelles sont les politiques et les interventions qui pourraient améliorer leur condition et l’accès aux services sociaux et de santé? Voilà des interrogations qui sont au coeur de la présente étude. Afin d’apporter un éclairage sur ces questions, la recherche a recours à un examen des résultats de sondages récents et de données publiques pour établir les contours de la communauté d’expression anglaise sous l’angle des hommes et des pères qui la composent. Préalablement, un cadre d’analyse culturaliste est présenté afin de mieux comprendre et de mieux interpréter les résultats qui se dégagent des différentes sources d’information retenues par l’étude. Enfin, des avenues d’actions en matière de politiques publiques et d’intervention dans les milieux de pratiques, sont proposées pour améliorer la situation des hommes et des pères d’expression anglaise et de rapprocher les services sociaux et de santé de leurs besoins et de leur réalité. Les résultats de sondages et de rapports de données publiques constituent le socle à partir duquel s’articule la réflexion sur les actions à mettre de l’avant.

Portrait of Men and Fathers in Quebec's English-Speaking Community & Their Relationship to Services - A Sociological View - Roy, Jacques (Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN), 2021)
What is the profile of English-speaking men in Quebec? Are they different from other Quebec men, mainly Francophones? Has the pandemic affected them more? Do they experience additional barriers to services imply because of their language? Finally, what policies and interventions could improve their condition and access to health and social services? These are the questions at the heart of this study. In order to shed light on these issues, the research uses an examination of recent survey results and public data to map out the English-speaking community in terms of the men and fathers who comprise it. Before doing so, a culturalist analytical framework is presented to better understand and interpret the results that emerge from the various sources of information used in the study. Finally, avenues for action in terms of public policy and intervention in practice settings are proposed to improve the situation of English-speaking men and fathers and to bring health and social services closer to their needs and reality. The results of surveys and public data reports form the basis for reflection on the actions to be taken.

Given the recurring nature of complaints filed under section 91 of the Act, as well as the importance for Canada to have a public service that has the necessary skills to respect and promote both official languages throughout the country, the Commissioner of Official Languages of Canada (the Commissioner) decided that an in-depth analysis of the problem was needed in order to determine its scope, identify its causes and propose solutions. This report contains the results of that analysis and the Commissioner’s recommendations to help federal institutions resolve the problem. The Commissioner hopes that this analysis will motivate all stakeholders to take a serious look at this problem, and that the recommendations he has made in this report will lead to better implementation of section 91 of the Act and to a public service that can fulfill its mandate in both official languages for all Canadians.

An initiative of the Quebec English-Speaking Communities Research Network through its Inter-Level Educational Table, in collaboration with Youth 4 Youth Québec and the Black Community Resource Centre, this year’s forum had a special theme : Career and Education Orientations for the Post-COVID-19 World. In a nutshell, it was an opportunity for students to understand the new realities of the post-COVID-19 experience and how to navigate the sometimes confusing road ahead. Spoiler alert : We’re gonna be alright (but we need to recalibrate slightly).

Community Vitality Report on English-speaking International Students - Andrade, Gustavo; Morais, Maria (Y4Y Québec, 2020)
Since 2016, the first year of the QS Best Student Cities ranking, produced by QS Quacquarelli Symonds, Montreal is ranked in the top 10 best cities for students in the world. It is regularly ranked as the most student-friendly city in North America and was rated #1 in 2017. The rank’s methodology includes indicators such as university rankings, affordability, and, since 2017, students’ opinions (QS Quacquarelli Symonds, 2019). As a result, Montreal attracts tens of thousands of international students every year. Many of those students come to Quebec with English as their second language, with little to no knowledge of French, to study at both major English-language universities, Concordia and McGill, or in one of the numerous English-language private colleges. Besides all the challenges related to post-secondary studies and being an English-speaker in Quebec, English-speaking international students who want to settle in Quebec also need to face the challenge of living abroad and learning the language of the majority.

Of those who intend to keep their children at home, 65.5% are opting for distance learning; and 30%, home-schooling.

Profil de la jeunesse anglophone de la Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine - Regional Individual Employment Services & Support (RIESS) (Committee for Anglophone Social Action (CASA), 2020)
Ce profil de la situation de la jeunesse anglophone de la Gaspésie et des Îles-de-la-Madeleine a été commandité par trois organisations communautaires : le Comité pour l’action sociale anglophone (CASA), le Conseil des Madelinot·e·s anglophones (CAMI) et Vision Gaspé-Percé Now. Des travaux de recherche-action fondés sur une approche participative et communautaire ont servi de base au développement de ce profil. Ce faisant, l’étude sur laquelle le présent document se fonde permet d’avoir un portrait des réalités propres à la jeunesse, développé par les jeunes elleux-mêmes; ceci permettra de travailler plus efficacement à la résolution des enjeux et des difficultés auxquels ils et elles font face dans les différentes communautés de la région. Une méthode d’approche mixte a ainsi été développée via la combinaison d’une enquête en ligne et de groupes de discussions sur des sujets liés à l’émigration, à l’éducation, à l’emploi, à la vie sociale, aux services, etc. Au total, 438 jeunes de 15 à 35 ans ont participé à l’enquête en ligne, et neuf groupes de discussion ont été instaurés sur un total de six communautés regroupant 82 jeunes.

Profile of English-speaking Youth : Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine - Regional Individual Employment Services & Support (RIESS) (Committee for Anglophone Social Action (CASA), 2020)
Three community organizations commissioned this profile of the situation of young people in the Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine region: the Committee for Anglophone Social Action (CASA), the Council for Anglophone Magdalen Islanders (CAMI) and Vision Gaspé-Percé Now. A study grounded in community-based participatory action research was developed, with the goal of hearing directly from young people about their realities in order to take action on issues affecting them in the region’s communities. A mixed methods approach combined an on-line survey with focus group discussions exploring questions related to out-migration, education, employment, social life, services and more. A total of 438 young people aged 15-35 filled out the survey and nine focus groups were held in a total of six communities with a total of 82 youth.

Fostering the Well-Being of English-Speaking Quebecers Through Community Involvement? : A Statistical Analysis of the Relationship Between Activism and Individual Happiness - Bonin, Pierre-Olivier (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2020)
Scholars of many disciplines have studied Canadian official language minority communities (OLMCs) such as the English-speaking communities in Quebec. One of the most successful research frameworks draws on the notion of vitality. Studies on vitality, be it construed as group vitality (e.g., Bourhis et al. 2019), subjective vitality (e.g., Landry and Allard 1994) or community vitality (e.g., Floch, Abou-Rjeili, and Durand 2017), have provided detailed empirical portraits of OLMCs. While scholars working in the latter area have addressed the many symptoms, causes, and consequences of strong and weak vitality, this working paper will provide empirical insights on a less often studied side of the question. Specifically, the extant literature has addressed the issue of vitality by examining aggregate indicators; this working paper will examine solutions that may improve the well-being of OLMCs at the individual level.

Redefining the Black Experience in Montreal: One Institution at a Time - The Project Woke Interns (Black Community Resource Centre (BCRC), 2020)
Project Woke interns identified and investigated three critical themes affecting the Black community in Montreal. An analysis of societal issues and Canada’s Anti-Racism Strategy Project revealed harmful anti-human rights gaps affecting the Black Community. The findings from several consultations further validated these gaps. A comprehensive list of recommendations is included along with next steps as a continuation to advance Black human rights in Montreal, and elsewhere, along with the support of government and non-government actors.

A Posthumous Honour for a Conspicuous Life : Dr. Gaspard in Quebec - Williams, Dorothy (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2020)
This story is an attempt to understand an unknown individual whose life was significant but has now been forgotten. He was American-born, yet his mother tongue was French. He served Canada in French units but embraced the English-speaking Black community once in Montreal. His life speaks of a complexity of language not often explored in narratives of Quebec’s English-speaking community, particularly in those histories about Blacks in the province. I trust this will be the beginning.

Evaluation Report - Holley, Paul (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2020)
The following evaluation report fulfills a key deliverable of a broader project funded by Canadian Heritage and titled Best Practices in Community Engagement for the English Speaking Youth Population in Quebec, which was implemented by Youth 4 Youth (Y4Y) Quebec from April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020. The key objective of this project was to boost youth engagement and participation in political and community life in Quebec. Y4Y successfully accomplished this objective by engaging over 1,000 youth through a series of 30 community consultations, 12 focus groups, and a youth survey delivered on-line and in-person with 520 respondents. The focus of this report is on the key findings from the survey, which targeted Englishspeaking youth ages 16 to 30 from across the province and collected quantitative and qualitative information on youth media consumption and community engagement activities. A gender-based analysis of key survey findings was also conducted and is presented in this report along with a set of recommendations for community organizations serving Quebec’s English-speaking youth population.

Westhaven Vision 2020 : A Community Vision for a Healthier, Safer, and More Vibrant Neighbourhood - NDG Community Council (NDGCC) (2020)
In the spring of 2018, the NDG Community Council received funding from the Direction Régionale de Santé Publique de Montréal (DRSP) Mésure 17 programme ‘environnement favorable à la santé’ for a two-year project in Westhaven, a small, physically isolated and so- cio-economically vulnerable neighborhood located in the Montreal borough of Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce. The Mésure 17 fund was created to support projects with an approach based on the supportive environments model, which considers the built environ- ment as a significant influencer on social inequalities in health status in a community. Westhaven was chosen in large part due to its stark socio-demographic differences from other areas nearby.

The Philanthropist : The Life and Legacy of Jeffery Hale - Donovan, Patrick (Jeffery Hale - Saint Brigids (JHSB), 2020)
In Quebec City, people associate the name Jeffery Hale with a hospital. While Hale certainly helped create the institution that bears his name, his story and legacy go well beyond its walls. Unlike most English-speaking immigrants who came to Canada, Jeffery Hale’s ancestors were rich, powerful, and very well connected. They lived a privileged life with strong transatlantic ties to the Royal Family and the colonial military. They furthered a British imperialist agenda and made decisions that shaped the destiny of North America.

DCCADI : Developing Connections and Collaborations Among Digital Initiatives : Final Report to: Canada Council - Digital Strategy Fund - English Language Arts Network (ELAN) (English-Language Arts Network (ELAN), 2020)
With the Developing Connections & Collaborations Among Digital Initiatives (DCCADI) project, ELAN’s ARTS2U has worked with Canada-wide digital initiatives in the arts. ELAN has forged strong relationships among similar projects with the review of data structures, research of commonalities, strategic alignments, and best practices. The ARTS2U - DCCADI initiative provides recommendations for the benefit of Canadian artists and organizations seeking to have increased visibility on digital platforms. The shift to digital platforms has had resounding impacts on creators of art in Canada. Visibility and find-ability are key concepts when artists are seeking to connect with their audiences. The key ideas are central to artists as they strive to achieve sustainable business models in a world powered by AI, machine learning, and structured data. The distribution of arts events and products is currently dominated by social media and technology companies, and Canadian artists are largely not in control of their capacity to reach audiences.

Impact Report 2019-2020 - 4Korners (2020)

Profil des jeunes anglophones des Laurentides 15 à 29 ans - 4Korners (2020)
Selon les données publiées par l’Institut de la statistique du Québec en 2020, la population vivant dans les régions administratives de la province a considérablement changé de 2019 à 2021 en raison des répercussions sociales directes de la pandémie de COVID-19 et de ses conséquences sur la migration, la mobilité, l’attractivité de la main-d’oeuvre, la conciliation travail-famille, les habitudes de vie et les loisirs. Ainsi, on estime que 632 000 habitants vivaient dans la région des Laurentides au 1er juillet 2020, marquant une augmentation de 17,7 % pour l’année 2019-2020; ce pourcentage est plus élevé que le taux moyen de l’ensemble de la province (8,5 %) pour cette année. De fait, il est important de souligner que cette région présente la plus forte augmentation depuis le début de la pandémie en mars 2020.

Profile of Laurentian English-speaking Youth 15-29 - 4Korners (2020)
According to data published by the Institut de la statistique du Québec in 2020, the population living in the administrative regions of the province has significantly changed between 2019 and 2021, being directly affected by the social impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and its implications for out-migration, mobility, workforce attractivity, work/life balance, lifestyle habits and leisure activities. As a result, it is estimated that 632,000 inhabitants were living in the Laurentian region as of July 1, 2020. This represents an increase of 17.7% for the year 2019-2020, which is higher than the average rate across the province (8.5%) for that year. In fact, it is important to highlight that this region presents the largest increase since the outbreak of the pandemic in March 2020.

An Uncertain Future for the Future of Québec : Policy Brief on the Under Employment of English-speaking Youth in the Quebec Civil Service - Lawler, Madeleine (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2020)
Since the start of the COVID-19 global pandemic, post-secondary students have been amongst the hardest hit economically. In the span of two months, the unemployment rate amongst Canadian post-secondary students almost doubled, and less than a quarter of previously employed students continued working their regular hours. The global pandemic further exacerbated pre-existing issues of economic vulnerability and underemployment amongst English-speaking youth in Quebec. According to a 2018 CHSSN report, the unemployment rate amongst English-speaking youth was 13.3%, whereas that of their Frenchspeaking counterparts was 9.8%.2 Across different industries, the under-employment of Englishspeaking youth is perhaps the most pitiful within the Quebec civil service. In general, anglophones have represented between 0.7% and 1% of the provincial civil service for nearly half a century, despite representing 7.4% of the population in 2016

The 2019-2020 Baseline Data Report (BDR) relays the health and social service findings of the CHSSN/CROP provincial survey of English speakers conducted in 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2019. This report is the first in the Baseline Data Report series to present the CHSSN/CROP provincial survey results from four different time periods. In keeping with the standard CHSSN reporting approach, survey results are organized according to the location of respondents in regional communities across Québec’s adminstrative territory and delineated into sub-groups defined by gender, age, household income, and knowledge of English and French. For report graphs, CHSSN selected two population groups considered vulnerable by many stakeholders with respect to access and language of service due to their age and level of bilingualism. It should be noted that in 2019, the CHSSN provincial survey questionnaire was significantly modified and the title of the survey changed to Community Health and Social Survey to reflect an increased focus on health sector issues. Importantly, despite these changes a sizable number of questions have remained identical and nearly identical across each rendition of the questionnaire. The responses to the questions that reoccurr from 2005 through to 2019 form the basis of these profiles. Information on health and social services access among English-speaking communities gathered through sampling techniques other than CROP telephone interviews are not included.

In keeping with the standard CHSSN reporting approach, survey results are organized according to the location of respondents in regional communities across Québec’s adminstrative territory and delineated into sub-groups defined by gender, age, household income, and knowledge of English and French. For report graphs, CHSSN selected two population groups considered vulnerable by many stakeholders with respect to access and language of service due to their age and level of bilingualism. It should be noted that in 2019, the CHSSN provincial survey questionnaire was significantly modified and the title of the survey changed to Community Health and Social Survey to reflect an increased focus on health sector issues. Importantly, despite these changes a sizable number of questions have remained identical and nearly identical across each rendition of the questionnaire. The responses to the questions that reoccurr from 2005 through to 2019 form the basis of these profiles. Information on health and social services access among English-speaking communities gathered through sampling techniques other than CROP telephone interviews are not included.

Report on Youth Employability in the Greater Quebec City Region - Voice of English-speaking Quebec (VEQ) (2020)
In the winter of 2019-2020, we conducted a survey of English-speaking youth aged 15 to 29 as well as six focus groups at the English high schools in the region to support two projects related to youth employability. Through our needs analysis, we sought to evaluate youth knowledge and/or use of the services offered by the Carrefour jeunesse-emploi centres as well as to gain some insights into the postsecondary education and career plans of the students at the local English high schools. These results are meant to provide a snapshot of the perspectives of Englishspeaking youth on employment in the Greater Quebec City region at this time. Though small in scope and sample size (53 survey participants, 32 focus group participants), this study captures the very real hopes and frustrations of our minority population. At the same time, it also proposes some very concrete and achievable outcomes. We hope that this document can serve as a springboard for employers and service providers to work with us, and members of our community, to increase the employability of English-speaking youth in the Greater Quebec City region. Let’s build a better future for all Québécois.

2019 Final Report - Keats, Shannon A. (Coasters Association, 2019)
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. From 2008 to 2016 the five camps were in operation and ran very well. This year (2019), the community committee in Blanc Sablon made the decision to run the KIDS Summer camp in Blanc Sablon through the Municipality of Blanc Sablon with minor support from the Coasters Association in terms of advice and documentation.

Lower North Shore Housing Needs Assessment - Kippen, Kayla (2019)
Communities in rural remote regions often struggle with access to services across the province and other parts of Canada. These access issues are often worsened during times of crisis. A significant problem facing rural communities is the current housing structure for vulnerable people. For example, those requiring palliative care services, or facing mental health and dependency issues, are particularly confronted with issues when trying to secure or obtain stable housing, or access to supportive housing programs and services. In 2017, the federal government announced its first ever National Housing Strategy for Canadians, with a goal of making sure Canadians across the country can access housing that meets their needs and that they can afford. With the witnessed economic downturns, poverty and unemployment rates of the region, it was necessary to investigate whether the Lower North Shore was also providing access to housing that meets the needs of all citizens.

Modernisation de la Loi sur les langues officielles : Recommandations du commissaire aux langues officielles pour une loi actuelle, dynamique et robuste - Canada. Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages (2019)
Cinquante années se sont maintenant écoulées depuis l’adoption de la toute première Loi sur les langues officielles. Alors que nous célébrons les succès et les avancées depuis 1969, le moment est propice de mener une réflexion approfondie sur les besoins des Canadiens en matière de langues officielles et de s’interroger sur la justesse des outils qu’offre la Loi pour y répondre adéquatement. En plus des nombreux appels lancés par le commissaire pour une modernisation de la Loi, de multiples demandes ont été formulées d’un bout à l’autre du pays par les deux groupes linguistiques. Ces demandes témoignent du besoin pressant de réviser le cadre législatif existant ainsi que d’élaborer de nouveaux règlements, et ce, afin de répondre aux attentes et à la réalité de chacun. C’est pourquoi le commissaire propose une modernisation de la Loi fondée sur une vision holistique. En effet, la vision qu’il recommande va bien au-delà de modifications de nature législative et réglementaire. Il s’attend à ce que les modifications qui seront adoptées mènent à un changement de culture afin que la dualité linguistique puisse pleinement s’épanouir partout au Canada. Pour y arriver, le commissaire propose 18 recommandations, chapeautées par les trois piliers sur lesquels repose sa vision : une loi actuelle, dynamique et robuste.

Modernizing the Official Languages Act : The Commissioner of Official Languages' Recommendations for an Act that is Relevant, Dynamic and Strong - Canada. Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages (2019)
It has been 50 years since the first Official Languages Act was passed. While we celebrate the progress and many successes achieved since 1969, it is a good time to conduct and in-depth review of official languages needs and think about whether the tools offered by the Act meet those needs effectively. The Commissioner’s repeated calls to modernize the Act have been echoed across Canada by both language groups, highlighting the urgent need to review the current legislative framework and draft new regulations to meet the expectations and reflect the realities of all Canadians. The Commissioner is therefore recommending a holistic approach to modernizing the Act that goes well beyond legislative and regulatory change. To create a cultural shift so that linguistic duality can reach its full potential across Canada, he has made 18 recommendations under the three pillars of his vision for an Act that is relevant, dynamic, and strong.

ELAN Inclusion Plan - English Language Arts Network (ELAN) (2019)
In summer 2017, after several years of internal discussion, the English Language Arts Network (ELAN) embarked on a process of creating an inclusion plan. This plan addresses our overall direction as an organization, as well as our work in the specific areas of membership, human resources, governance, advocacy, and communications. At the heart of this plan is an acknowledgement that our work on inclusion and diversity is ongoing, will evolve, and will involve mistakes. It is active work, involving all of us and all parts of ELAN. When ELAN began in 2004, the organization was focused on building positive bridges between the French- and English-speaking arts communities. This focus will remain present throughout our work. However, we recognize that in the fifteen years since ELAN started, the context of the arts community has shifted and other issues have been raised.

L’initiative est née d’une collaboration entre CASA, CAMI et VGPN, qui ont commencé à travailler avec des partenaires régionaux et locaux pour mieux adapter les programmes et les services afin de soutenir les enfants d’expression anglaise de 0 à 5 ans et leurs familles. Le Réseau communautaire de santé et de services sociaux (RCSSS) a adopté cette approche comme cadre de référence provinciale pour les communautés d’expression anglaise.

Promoting Opportunities for Youth Community Partnerships : A Policy Brief - Lai, Edward; Winrow, Adrienne; Orme, Charlie (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2019)
Across Canada, youth retention and success have always been key in ensuring the continued vitality of official language minority communities (OLMCs). Within the context of Quebec, retention in particular is a constant challenge, where English-speaking youth are disproportionately apt to pursue professional opportunities outside of the province. While this option should never be condemned, it is nonetheless important to ensure that those who wish to remain have access to the resources necessary to help them thrive therein. With this in mind, and considering that youth retention is equally beneficial to the state, policymakers need to be in a position to support organizations that are working towards this objective.
