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

An Independent Report of the History Experts Committee On the Provincial History of Québec and Canada Program and Approved English Textbooks - Commission scolaire English-Montreal / English Montreal School Board (2018)
In September 2017, the Ministry of Education implemented a revised Secondary III and IV compulsory History of Québec and Canada program. This program raised a number of issues that became of concern to the English Montreal School Board (EMSB). Given these concerns, the EMSB commissioned an independent History Experts Committee to review the content of this program as well as the Ministry-approved English-language textbooks. The following is a summary of the findings of this Committee

Alliance Quebec Brief on Bill C-20, The Clarity Bill - Alliance Quebec (AQ) (2000)
Alliance Quebec congratulates the Government of Canada on the Clarity Bill, which recognizes the errors of the 1995 referendum campaign and acknowledges the demands of most federalists in Quebec for a clear framework that safeguards our constitutional rights, as recognized by the Supreme Court of Canada. In 1995, the secessionist Government of Quebec held a referendum that was intended to lead to a unilateral declaration of independence. An ambiguous question was posed that referred to an agreement between the three separatist leaders. The people of Quebec then voted in confusion, with most under the illusion that secession was a right, that a referendum could activate that right, and that a majority Yes vote would be followed, naturally and normally, by Quebec’s independence with its borders intact. And many also felt that Quebec would continue to send representatives to the Canadian Parliament and would retain its rights as part of NAFTA and the GATT .

Africana Congress 2000 - Africana Studies Committee (2000)
Africana Congress 2000 was held at McGill University from February 4" to February 6” 2000. Organized by the Africana Studies Committee and the Black Student Network, and sponsored in large part by Canadian Heritage, the event served to celebrate and critically re-evaluate 30 years of Africana Studies at McGill University. The Congress marked a major turning point in the struggle to maintain and promote Africana Studies at McGill University. It was first conceived two years earlier, when the Africana Studies Committee (ASC) drafted its 1998 Development Plan, a document that charted ASC’s 20-year vision for the potential expansion of the program. The plan was divided into four phases, the final one being the establishment of an Africana Studies Centre. In the interim, the Congress was conceived and proposed as a way of mobilizing as much support for the initiative as possible. The Congress was also conceived as a forum that would welcome input and would generate discussion about how to achieve our goals. ASC without engaging in acknowledged that it could not achieve these ambitious, though not unrealistic, goals with genuine consultations with the wider community.

Accommodements raisonnables et liberté de religion au Québec - The English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) (2007)
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.”

Access to Justice in English Project : Senior Care Services in English in Quebec : Executive Summary of Final Report and Recommendations to the Ministry of Health and Social Services - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2023)

Access to Justice in English Project : Senior Care Services in English in Quebec - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2023)
QCGN’s Access to Justice in English Project (“the AJEQ Project”) identifies and researches areas where the English-speaking community are experiencing difficulty accessing their rights, with a strong focus on community access to public services. It leverages information as a strategic resource to understand and improve access to justice in English in Quebec. The second issue studied by the Project was access to health care services for seniors in English through Quebec’s SAPA program (Soutien à l’autonomie des personnes âgées). The issue was selected on the basis of prior research conducted by the AJEQ Project, including a population survey of 1,601 English-speaking Quebecers conducted by Quorus Consulting Group in September 2021, which revealed that hospitals and CLSC care were among the most widely accessed provincial government services by English-speaking Quebecers, and that more than one in three English-speaking Quebecers who had accessed these services in the past two years found it difficult to do so in English. The issue of senior care was under close scrutiny at the time the issue was selected, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent coroner’s inquiry into pandemic-related deaths at seniors’ residences across Quebec.

Access to Justice for Minority Populations : Focus on the English-speaking Communities of Quebec: 2000-2016 - Shohet, Linda (Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN), 2016)
The objectives of this project are to research access to justice issues experienced by English-speaking Quebecers from their perspective, to establish metrics for measuring access to justice that fit the needs of community members, and to make recommendations to mitigate or overcome gaps and challenges for the English-speaking community of Quebec. The guiding question is: What is the lived experience for an English-speaking Quebecer in accessing legal and judicial information and services or in interacting with any of the social services that are now understood to be implicated in the broader concept of access to justice? This literature review is the first deliverable from Phase 1 of the project with an expectation that the findings will inform the second deliverable — a research plan to fill gaps in knowledge about the reality of access to justice for the anglophone population of Quebec.

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.

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.

A Snapshot of Poverty Among Québec’s English-speaking Communities - Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT) (2023)
Québec is home to more than 1.2 million English speakers, representing 14.9% of the province’s population. Data from the 2021 Census of Canada indicates that English-speaking Quebecers occupy a more precarious economic position than their French-speaking counterparts, experiencing higher rates of poverty and unemployment and earning lower median incomes. Research conducted by PERT has highlighted some of the specific barriers and challenges English speakers face regarding labour market integration and retention in Québec, including lack of French-language training for the workforce, lack of English-language employability services, lack of English-language vocational training, and lack of wrap-around support services. These employment challenges impact English speakers' labour market outcomes and are associated with higher rates of poverty. Furthermore, many of these challenges, especially lack of wrap-around supports (e.g. housing or food security), can directly contribute to – and result from – poverty.

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.

Along with other measurements, these indicators form a baseline in which the success of the CWI can be assessed. They show where we are making progress, where we are falling behind, and what we can do - both as a region and as individuals - to improve quality of life.

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.

A Needs Assessment Report to Build & Strengthen the Volunteer Base of the Lower North Shore of Quebec - Buckle, Heidi (Coasters Association, 2004)
In the 21st century volunteers are asked to take on roles that hold significant importance. Volunteering is the most fundamental act of citizenship in our society. It is offering time, energy and skills of one’s own free will. By caring and contributing, volunteers decrease disparity, while they can gain skill(s), self-esteem, and can change their lives. People work to improve the lives of their neighbors and, in return, enhance their own. The project’s goal was to identify the needs of the twenty-one (21) regional and one hundred and thirteen (113) community organizations on the coast. The results of the study have provided the population with resourceful information, such as: the mandates, services, and orientation priorities of the regional organizations, the needs of the regional and community groups, and the potential development of new groups/organizations on the Lower North Shore. This was accomplished through a questionnaire (see annex 5) with a 100% success rate of the regional organizations, and a 92% achievement rate for the community organizations. With the development of a survey (see annex 6) and support of the survey participants (see annex 7); a remarkable 100% success rate was established for the potential development of new groups/organizations on the coast. However, it must be said that this information was gathered at the beginning of the project (August-September, 2003) and some of the orientation priorities of the regional organizations maybe completed and/or have changed since then.

A Needs Assessment on the Issue of Hiring and Retaining English Professionals on the Lower North Shore - Coasters Association (2006)
The Coasters Association, in partnership with the Centre de Santé et de Services Sociaux de la Basse- Côte-Nord (CSSSBCN), received a Training and Human Resources Development Project from McGill University for seven (7) weeks from February 13 to March 31, 2006, under the Retention and Distance Professional and Community Support Program, to conduct a needs assessment on the issue of hiring and retaining Professionals, not only English-speaking - but Bilingual Professionals as well, on the Lower North Shore of Quebec. The objective of this needs assessment was to develop Phase II which is a two year proposal that would lead to the improvement of hiring and retaining professionals on the territory. The long term intended outcome is the increase in access to Health and Social Services for English speaking residents on the Lower North Shore. Another objective of this needs assessment is to make contact with institutional and community based organizations (ie: Education and H.&S.S.), it is hoped that these contacts will lead to long term partnerships and commitment to addressing the hiring and retention of English and/or Bilingual Professionals on the Lower North Shore.

A Needs Assessment : Better Understanding the Current Situation of the Senior Population - Burke, Helena; Craig, Lisa; Richardson, Mary (Council for Magdalen Islanders (CAMI), 2017)
This needs assessment was conducted as part of a community development process in the English-speaking community of Grosse-Ile, on the Magdalen Islands, Quebec. It is part of the follow- up to a community portrait that was developed through a participatory process in early 2015. The process involved the mobilization and engagement of a number of local stakeholders as well as community residents who expressed their views on a number of different themes. One of the issues that was highlighted by community members as a concern, even a priority, was that of the aging population within the ESC, having access to few services and limited support for caregivers.

"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.

This report explores the employment experiences of English speakers in Québec as well as the issues and needs they face when it comes to navigating the labour market. English-speaking Quebecers, who are Québec’s official language minority community, sit at the intersections of various identities and communities from which diverse challenges and opportunities arise. At the same time, there are shared experiences of being an English speaker in Québec. One of them is the socioeconomic status of the English-speaking community as a whole. Despite the historical position of English speakers as a socioeconomic elite in Québec, today’s English-speaking community is collectively characterized by higher unemployment rates and lower incomes when compared to the French-speaking majority.

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.

2011 National Household Survey - Shahar, Charles (The Jewish Community of Montreal, 2015)
This report examines the demographic characteristics of the Holocaust Survivor population in the Montreal metropolitan area based on figures from the 2011 National Household Survey (NHS). The findings compare the characteristics of Holocaust Survivors with Jewish seniors who are not Survivors, and the total population of elderly living in the Montreal CMA. The report also identifies those Survivors who are most vulnerable (physically, economically, socially) and in need of community interventions. As the Survivor population ages and its needs increase, it is imperative to understand the unique circumstances and challenges this population faces.

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.

2009-10 Annual Report - Leading English Education and Resource Network (LEARN) (2010)
In a province as vast as Quebec, and with schools and school boards scattered over an enormous geographic expanse, the notion of bringing people together to create a COMMUNITY of collaboration may appear daunting, if not impossible. In reality, when people share similar interests and common goals, those physical impediments can quickly disappear. This is especially true when the ultimate objective is the academic success of our children in elementary and high schools. LEARN’s focus is to serve as a catalyst and facilitator for the creation of communities of collaboration composed of educators, parents and students across the province. It is our organization’s objective to make every effort possible to get the well-intentioned forces within the English educational milieu together to share the wealth of knowledge and experience that resides there.
