Youth Volunteer Retention in Québec - Lopes-Luchak, Milla (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2021)
Volunteers are major contributors to nonprofit organizations in Québec and across Canada. Despite their contributions, studies reveal that volunteer retention is an aspect that remains neglected (Merrilees, Miller & Yakimova, 2020). There are many reasons why people give their time and remain in the same nonprofit. Consequently, there is no individual factor that guarantees retention; it differs depending on age group, gender, socio-economic background, area of volunteerism, etc. Improving retention is in the best interest of nonprofits. Although youth are the age group that volunteer the most (according to Volunteers Canada), Québec is the province with the lowest rate (as stated by statcan) and has much to learn from the rest of the country.

Youth Pulse Check : Survey Results Report - Nigam, Sunita (Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN), 2022)
This document outlines the most important findings of the Youth Pulse Check, a mental health survey filled out by 456 English-speaking youth between the ages of 18-29 from 14 regions across the province of Quebec. Although 90% of respondents said they struggled at least somewhat often with their mental wellbeing and 81% of respondents, said that the COVID-19 pandemic has increased their struggles to feel well at a level 3 or more on a scale of 1 to 5, the survey revealed that many English-speaking youth feel there are significant gaps and barriers in accessing mental health services in their region. If many youth reported having sought out help in the past without success—meeting with barriers such as long wait lists, the prohibitive costs of mental health support, or the unavailability of services in English— other youth reported not having sought out help because of a lack of information about services to which they might turn.

Youth at Risk and the Writers in the Community Program : An Exploratory Evaluation - Hanley, Jill (The Centre for Literacy of Quebec (CFL), 2014)
Given its central importance to modern life, literacy has long been seen as both a challenge and an opportunity for members of marginalized populations (Movement for Canadian Literacy, 2001; Neuman, 2008), including youth at risk (Walker, Greenwood, Hart, & Carta, 1994; Willms, 1997). Such youth face many barriers to success at school and when they leave school with weak literacy skills, they face further challenges to employment and interaction with public institutions. On the other hand, helping youth at risk to develop stronger literacy skills – and, in the best case scenario, a love of reading and writing – may not only address practical challenges to future employment and public engagement (StatsCan, 2006) but can also make a significant contribution to positive self-esteem and positive relationships with their peers, teachers and parents (Chandler, 1999).

Your Mental Health Initiative Impact Report 2022-2023 - Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN) (2022)
Within the Youth Mental Health Initiative’s (YMHI) second year, CHSSN supported 27 community organizations with over 373 partnerships across 12 regions of Quebec including three provincial organizations, with the central goal of improving the access of mental health services and resources to Quebec’s English-speaking youth between the ages of 15-29. Each organization has worked to identify gaps in youth mental health services; engage youth in program design; partner with local schools, public health services and other community organizations; adapt, translate, and produce resources; and offer activities and programs for young people to help fill some of the gaps. Through a community of practice and individualized support, CHSSN helped community organizations to build their knowledge, network with each other and problemsolve on program implementation.

Workforce of Tomorrow Youth Skills Link Project - Buckle, Heidi (Coasters Association, 2015)
The Coasters Association implemented a fourth phase of the Youth Skills Link Project which began on May 18th, 2015, and ran until November 13th, 2015, funded by Service Canada. The YSLP entitled: “Workforce of Tomorrow” was designed to help out eight (8) youth between the ages of 15-30 throughout the Lower North Shore, to overcome employment barriers by enabling them to develop/improve on self-knowledge, employability skills, skills enhancement, through three weeks of Group Based Employability Skills training, and seventeen (17) weeks of work experience. The project was posted throughout the coast inviting youth to take part in the project based out of their respective communities/municipalities. A total of seven (7) applicants were received, interviews were carried out with each applicant and job placement was necessary before final selection. The selected youth derived from the Municipalities of C te Nord du Golfe du Saint Laurent, Gros Mecatina, Bonne Esperance, and Blanc Sablon were hired for twenty (20) weeks of training and work experience.

Women in the STEM Sector - Jedwab, Jack (2016)
Gender-based analysis (hereafter GBA) is defined by Status of Women Canada “a method for examining how an issue is affected by sex, gender, and other intersecting identity factors. It involves examining disaggregated data, as well as social, economic, and cultural conditions and norms.” (GBA: Gender-Based Analysis Plus, SWC 2015). The goal of this project is to conduct a gender-based analysis of the barriers and opportunities faced by women in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math sector (hereafter STEM), notably when it comes to advancement in their careers. GBA uses sex and gender as entry points to examining an issue, while situating these factors across various identities and experiences. In this report, we focus on the STEM sector, a highly educated group of women from diverse backgrounds, in the Montreal area. We examine this group in relationship to the broader community, as well as focusing on differences across this group, namely in terms of experience within the field.

Women in Technology - Wood, Andrea (Youth Employment Services (YES), 2013)
This paper represents the research component of a larger project focusing on “women in technology”, an initiative launched by YES Montreal in autumn 2012. The project strives to build capacity in Montreal’s technology sector by applying a gender-based analysis in the advocacy of women’s career development in the technology sector. The research will support the delivery of programs focusing on the development, implementation and evaluation of women’s careers in technology over a 3-year period, between 2013 and 2015. The Montreal technology sector faces a pipeline issue. This report aims to improve the understanding of the factors influencing the technology sector’s lifecycle, from elements impacting early technology education through career development. Predominantly, the research addresses the issues that prevent women in Quebec’s technology sector from achieving their goals. In order to elaborate upon the issues and opportunities, the study relies on two forms of research: secondary research conducted by experts in the field, and primary data collected through surveys, focus groups and interviews.

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.

Vers un projet de loi 96 plus efficace : Inclusion des Québécois d'expression anglaise dans la promotion et la protection de la langue française via l'emploi - Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT) (2022)
Lors de sa présentation du 12 novembre 2021 portant sur sa vision économique pour le Québec, le premier ministre Legault a réitéré l’engagement du gouvernement à réduire l’écart de richesse entre l’Ontario et le Québec et à augmenter la prospérité du Québec (Gouvernement du Québec, 2021a). La situation économique du Québec peut être considérée avec optimisme. Un rapport récent de Scotiabank Economics (2021) indiquait que le Québec connaissait une forte reprise économique et qu’il devançait les autres provinces canadiennes « en matière d’expansion économique pour la première fois dans l’histoire ». La vision économique que le gouvernement a pour la province repose sur cinq piliers importants, dont le développement d’une forte main-d’oeuvre. Cependant, le Québec est confronté à certaines difficultés, notamment un sévère manque de main-d’oeuvre qui, dans le deuxième trimestre de 2021, comptait plus de 190 000 postes vacants, ce qui place la province au deuxième rang après l’Ontario (Statistics Canada, 2021). Il est évident par l’annonce récente du plan « Opération main-d’oeuvre », doté d’un budget de 3,9 milliards de dollars pour lutter contre le manque de main-d’oeuvre, que le gouvernement du Québec voit comme une priorité la résolution de cette crise, et vise à s’assurer qu’aucun Québécois ne soit laissé pour compte (Gouvernement du Québec, 2021b).

Cette évaluation des besoins a été menée dans le cadre d’un processus de développement communautaire dans la communauté anglophone de Grosse-Île, aux Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Québec. Elle fait partie du suivi d’un portrait communautaire qui a été élaboré par le biais d’un processus participatif au début de 2015. Le processus a impliqué la mobilisation et l’engagement de plusieurs intervenants locaux ainsi que de résidents de la communauté qui ont exprimé leurs opinions sur un bon nombre de thèmes. L’un des enjeux qui a été souligné par les membres de la communauté comme une préoccupation, voire une priorité, était celui du vieillissement de la population au sein de la CAI, ayant peu de services et un soutien limité aux proches aidants.

Understanding the Long-term Care Experience of Official Language Minorities in Canada: An Environmental Scan - Hsu, Amy T.; Ménard, Alixe; Scott, Mary (2022)
Members of minority and racialized communities across Canada commonly experience disparities in health and healthcare. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, minority and racialized individuals have been found to report poorer health outcomes and added barriers to healthcare access. While there is growing understanding of the impact of COVID-19 on individuals who live and work in residential long-term care (LTC) homes and other congregate care settings, little attention has been directed at examining inequities in the care experience and care-related outcomes that equity-seeking groups, including Official Language Minority Communities (OLMC), face within LTC. It’s clear that there is a need for systemic change within LTC; the pandemic, especially in its first two waves, highlighted several pre-existing issues within this sector. To ensure high-quality and equitable care for all aging Canadians, these system-level changes must be informed by evidence.

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.

Un aperçu de la pauvreté dans les communautés d'expression anglaise du Québec - Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT) (2023)
Le Québec compte plus de 1,2 million de Québécois d’expression anglaise, soit 14,9 % de la population de la province. Les données du recensement du Canada de 2021 indiquent que les Québécois d’expression anglaise occupent une position économique plus précaire que leurs homologues francophones, qu'ils connaissent des taux de pauvreté et de chômage plus élevés et qu'ils gagnent des revenus médians plus faibles. Les recherches menées par PERT ont mis en évidence certains des obstacles et défis spécifiques auxquels sont confrontés les Québécois d’expression anglaise en matière d'intégration et de rétention sur le marché du travail au Québec, notamment le manque de formation en français pour the marché du travail, le manque de services d'employabilité en anglais, le manque de formation professionnelle en anglais et le manque mesures de soutien globales. Ces difficultés d'emploi ont un impact sur les résultats des Québécois d’expression anglaise sur le marché du travail et ont été associées à des taux de pauvreté plus élevés. En outre, nombre de ces difficultés, en particulier l'absence de services d'accompagnement (par exemple, le logement ou la sécurité alimentaire), peuvent directement contribuer à la pauvreté et en résulter.

Through the Looking Glass : A Comparison of Broadcast License Fees in Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States - Cox, Kirwan (2004)
The decision of a domestic broadcaster to commission a program from a producer, and the license fee paid by the broadcaster to that producer, is the foundation of the independent television production system in Canada. Most public funding for Canadian programming follows on the basis of these transactions. Unfortunately, that public funding is oversubscribed, and the production industry is chronically underfunded. Some suggest that part of this problem is the size of the Canadian broadcast license fee. Based on anecdotal evidence, it is argued that Canadian license fees are low by international standards. The purpose of this study is to see if Canadian license fees for English independent television programs are indeed low based on selected international and historical comparisons. If they are, why?

They “Could Care for Our Elderly in Our Homes” : The Historical Impact of Black Caregivers - Williams, Dorothy W. (2023)
My aim is to interrogate prevalent assumptions about health and social services through a survey of notable chapters in the history of Black caregiving in Quebec. The assumptions have created expectations and a false narrative built upon historical myths and erasures that undergird the provincial population’s understanding of its relationship with Black caregivers. Blacks, both Francophone and Anglophone, though not exclusively so, have had significant connection to the care and well-being of Quebec’s residents. Black caregiving in Quebec is not recent—indeed, Black caregivers have been intimately tied to Quebec’s labour force aspirations and development for centuries. Even so, it is rarely acknowledged, to the point of being virtually unknown. This paper seeks to address those gaps in the narrative by presenting a timeline dating back to the 17th century.

The Tourist Offer of the Whiteley Museum and its Surrounding Area on the Lower North Shore : A Quality Improvement Report - Donovan, Patrick; O'Donnell, Lorraine (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2022)
This report analyzes the tourist offer in the eastern part of Quebec’s Lower North Shore, particularly the municipality of Bonne-Espérance, a region where English speakers make up the majority of the population. It focuses specifically on an institution in one of these municipalities, the Whiteley Museum. The report provides the authors’ suggestions to improve tourism development as a means to diversify the economy, potentially help reverse demographic decline, and build community vitality.

The QFHSA Back-to-School Survey : What Our Members Had To Say - Quebec Federation of Home and School Associations (QFHSA) (2020)
The Quebec Federation of Home and School Associations (QFHSA) surveyed its members recently on the Quebec government’s plan to reopen schools this spring. We learned that a small minority of parents (16.74%) plan to send their children back to school when it reopens. Of those who intend to keep their children at home, 65.5% are opting for distance learning; and 30%, home-schooling.

The Positive Ticket Pilot Program : A Feasibility Study - Low, Katherine (Black Community Resource Centre (BCRC), 2009)
The Positive Ticket Project was started in Richmond BC, and aims to improve the relationship between youth and police by way of positive interaction. Officers give out the positive tickets to neighbourhood youth displaying positive behaviour, which can be as simple as engaging in safe play or helping a community member. The positive tickets, which are business card size with positive messages printed on them, are combined with gift vouchers donated by and redeemable at local businesses. The real value of the project lies in the positive communication and interaction it creates between the officer and the youth. The Black Community Resource Center in Côte-des-Neiges wishes to implement a Positive Ticket Pilot Project in their neighbourhood in the summer of 2010.

The Policy on Language of Service - Jeffery Hale - Saint Brigid's (JHSB) (2015)
The objective of this policy is to ensure that employees communicate effectively with both French and English‐speaking clients and that Language Assistance Services are also available for other Limited‐French or English Proficient (LFEP) individuals and their surrogate decision‐makers at all points of contact, in a timely fashion and in their preferred language in order to ensure an understanding of their health condition and treatment options.

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.

The Network Model : Influencing Public Policy for Social Change - Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN) (2017)
The case studies being presented in today demonstrate that the development principles are at work every day and are now being pressed into new areas of action. The values underpinning the network model include promoting the identity of our communities, promoting social inclusion and advocating for equity in the broader society in its treatment of communities. These values can support network strategies to enter the “next level” of participation in societal initiatives setting broad policy goals. The reward for such effort can be societal recognition that the programs that define Quebec’s commitment to social progress also include our communities.

The NDG Community Health Forum : Improving Community Knowledge about Access to Local Health and Social Services: Final report - NDG Community Council (NDGCC) (2018)
The NDG Community Health Forum was held on Saturday, October 21, 2017 at the Crowley Arts Centre in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce. Its objective was to provide NDG residents, in particular those living in vulnerable situations, an opportunity to obtain information about health and social services in their community and how to access these services. The Forum enabled participants to meet with a variety of health and community service providers, discuss access issues in the context of recent reforms in Québec, and participate in themed workshops on more focused health challenges. Close to thirty local health agencies from the public, private and non-profit sectors had kiosks at the Forum, with resource people to introduce the services they provide and pamphlets participants could take home with them. The Forum was designed to empower community members with knowledge about available services, and provide public and community sector organizations with an opportunity to learn more about community needs in order to improve their services.

The McGill Retention Bursary Program: Evaluation Report : Training and Retention of Health Professionals Project - Gagnon, Marie-Pierre; Lampron, Amélie (CHU de Québec Research Centre, 2015)
An evaluation of this bursary program was conducted, focusing on the components of the program (e.g. eligibility criteria, selection process, etc.) and its outcomes (e.g. recipient intention to return to or stay working in a selected Quebec region at the end of their training, potential impact of the bursary program on retention of health professionals in English-speaking communities, etc.). The objectives of the evaluation were 1) to describe the current processes related to the functioning of the McGill Retention Bursary Program; 2) to explore recipients’ experience of this bursary program; 3) to explore community networks’ experience regarding their collaboration with this bursary program; 4) to assess the effectiveness of the bursary program; and 5) to propose potential improvement strategies for the bursary program currently in place.

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.

The Importance of Symbolism to the English-speaking Community in Québec - Lopes-Luchak, Milla (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2021)

The Importance of School Support on the Mental Health of LGBTQIA2S+ Youth in Québec : Policy Brief - Piccolo, Lexie (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2022)
LGBTQIA2S+ youth face unique stressors. Québec isfairly inclusive as the province has prohibited discrimination of gender identity and sexual orientation in section 10 of the Québec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms and urges for sexuality education to be a part of school curriculum. Although the province’s efforts have likely provided some relief to LGBTQIA2S+ Québec youth, reports of bullying and lack of support remain significant, especially in rural regions. Homophobic discrimination is directly and indirectly related to well-being as it can lead to feelings of isolation, which in turn leads to poorer mental health (Blais et al., 2014; Garcia et al., 2020). This is especially true for rural towns across Québec as the lack of queer representation prompts homophobic remarks and leads queer youth to feel alone (Dicaire, 2021). Given the amount of time youth spend in high-school, support within these facilities is essential. Research demonstrates that support systems for LGBTQIA2S+ youth, as well as education about this community within high-schools, may better the mental health of queer youth. In the absence of these tools, their mental health may languish.

The Importance of Resurrecting English-speaking Healthcare Services in Québec - Jackson-Cappuccino, Ella (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2021)
French is the first language of 71.2% of Quebecers. For the remaining 27.9%, communication outside of this language can be difficult, especially in regard to health care (Ouimet et. al 3).This is of concern as those who seek medical attention or health resources may not be provided adequate care given the linguistic barrier. Particularly, it is Québec’s Englishspeaking minority that is most affected by this issue (Ouimet et. al 3). Within this minority, there are still hundreds of thousands of English-speaking individuals who desire to seek health services in their first official language. The wish does not simply arise due to a lack of bilingualism. Evidence shows that in times of crisis - when individuals look to communicate a matter of importance - they most often revert to their mother tongue (Silver 686). Without resources designed to cater to the English-speaking population, the government subjects this linguistic minority group to unequal health care services.

The Holland Centre Experience : A Community Development Model for Minorities - Walling, Richard (Holland Resources Development Corporation, 2021)
The Holland Centre is a partnership of four public organisations and one private non-profit community organisation that has been successful in creating culturally-appropriate health and social services for a minority community in the province of Quebec, Canada. In June 1999 the J.W. McConnell Foundation awarded a grant to the Holland Centre that allowed it the time and resources necessary to analyse the elements of the centre’s success and develop the tools necessary to assist other linguistic minority communities to develop essential services.

The First English-speaking Community : Global Development Plan 2004-2009 - Grundy, Susan (Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN), 2003)
The English-speaking Community of Quebec (ESC) represents multiple communities that are diverse, multicultural and multiracial in nature. The Community includes English-speakers who choose to speak or use the English language, for example, for delivery of services. The Community also includes those citizens who identify with, or have an interest in, the English language. The first step taken by the Global Development Planning Steering Committee was to review the need for a Plan to revitalize the English-speaking Community of Quebec. Why are we doing this? Is a Global Development Plan necessary? What do we hope to achieve?

The Effects of the Pandemic on the Arts & Creative Sector in Québec : How Anglophone Artists, Creators, and Performers are Faring in a Time of Adversity - Eraso, Cecilia (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2022)
The arts, entertainment, and recreation sector is infamous for being in a state of constant flux. The experience of consecutive short-term contracts and annual seasonal employment terminations is a familiar reality for many creators, producers, and performers in Québec (Jeannotte, 2021). What is unique for some Québec artists is the experience of a linguistic divide in the provincial arts sector. In 2016, English-speaking artists in the province earned less than their Francophone counterparts, on average, making a median income of “85 cents for every $1 made by Francophone artists’’ (Hill, 2020). On the national level, statistics from the 2016 Canadian Census show that Anglophone artists from Québec have a lower median income than the rest of Canadian artists. These findings are especially surprising when considering that, nationally, English-speakers in Québec represent a significant portion of Canadian artists. Anglophones in Québec account for 4.6% of all Canadian artists, despite only representing 2.8% of the Canadian labour force (Hill, 2020). The data indicate that two factors, occupation and language, are related to discrepancies in income levels in Québec.

The Education to Employability Study - Black Community Resource Centre (BCRC); Provincial Employment Roundtable of Quebec (2022)
In Québec, both the Black community and the English-speaking community occupy relatively precarious economic and employment positions: both experience higher-thanaverage unemployment rates and earn lower median after-tax incomes compared to the province’s total population. The English-speaking Black Community (ESBC) sits at the intersection of these two communities, and experiences the double marginalization of being both a racial and linguistic minority in Québec.

The Development of an Action Plan to Expand Volunteerism & Leadership on the Lower North Shore of Quebec - Buckle, Heidi (Coasters Association, 2005)
Throughout phase one of this project, a needs assessment study was successfully carried out to identify the needs of the one hundred and thirteen (113) community organizations and twenty-one (21) regional organizations on the coast; along with a volunteer awareness campaign and the building of a strong volunteer base for the fifteen (15) communities of the Lower North Shore of Quebec. This study was then distributed to all the organizations, the working group, the Board of Directors of the Coasters Association and the volunteers who participated in this project. It has been shared with various Quebec Community Group Networks and HRD Community Table groups across the province, along with various federal and provincial government departments. It has been used as a working tool by many organizations on and off the coast.

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.

The Community Learning Centre Initiative : Framework for Action - Smith, William J. (Leading English Education and Resource Network (LEARN), 2016)
In the province of Quebec, English language-minority communities do not always have equitable access to education, health and/or social services. This challenge is particularly acute for English educational institutions and communities, especially in those regions where Anglophones make up a small percentage of the total population and the English school is the only English- language public sector institution in the community. The Community Learning Centre (CLC) Initiative helps to address this gap by building partnerships between English schools and organizations/institutions in their communities. These partnerships, facilitated by a Community Development Agent (CDA), leverage resources that benefit students, their families and the broader community. Recognizing the value of the CLC Initiative, the Association of Directors General of English School Boards of Québec (ADGESBQ) has supported its development since its inception.

The Best-Treated Minority in the World : Historical and Discursive Analysis of a Cliché - Donovan, Patrick (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2022)
Politicians, polemicists, and others have long referred to Quebec’s Englishspeaking community as the “best-treated minority in the world.”1 This loaded phrase has also been used to describe other minorities: French speakers within Canada as a whole, Indigenous peoples in Canada, and religious groups and minorities in many European and colonial contexts. Through a historical overview and discourse analysis, this paper traces how the phrase has been used and abused, justified, and criticized over time. The particular focus is the Quebec context. There, we see a shift from a largely consensual use of the phrase across all language groups to one that becomes increasingly divisive and problematic from the 1980s on. This shift parallels the English-speaking community’s evolving sense of itself as a minority in decline.

The HSSNPI aims to support the creation of durable links and joint action between English-speaking communities and Quebec’s health and social services system. The Baseline Data Report is a series produced by the Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN) to serve as a relevant and comprehensive knowledge base regarding the health status and vitality of Quebec’s English‐speaking population. The report is intended to serve as a resource that will allow local communities to better understand the demographic factors and health determinants affecting them and to assist institutional partners and community leaders to develop strategies to improve the well‐being of their constituencies.

In 2002, the Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN) was a key Contributor to the report of the Consultative Committee for English‐speaking Minority Communities to the Federal Minister of Health.1 The Consultative Committee report proposed a five year Global Intervention Plan to support the English‐speaking communities’ efforts to improve access to health and social services in their language in Quebec. The Consultative Committee emphasized that improved access was intimately tied to the ability of English‐speaking communities to develop local networks and effective partnerships with public sector agencies. It was proposed that by maintaining and improving English‐language access to a full range of health and social services across diverse regional populations that these partnerships would help to promote better health outcomes and ensure the vitality of Quebec’s English‐speaking communities. The Committee underlined the need to pay special attention to the more isolated and demographically weak communities which face special challenges in providing health and social services in English to their respective populations.

The Regroupement pour la Valorisation de la Paternité (RVP) brings together more than 250 organizations and individuals from the 17 administrative regions of Quebec. Its mission is to value the role of fathers and to promote their importance in the family and in society for the development and well-being of children, in a perspective of equality between parents. The RVP has enlisted the services of SOM to consult Quebec fathers of children under 18 years of age in order to better understand the concept of vulnerability in the context of fatherhood, particularly from the perspective of the diversity of parental experiences and pathways. In partnership with the Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN), this report was based on a subsample of 400 respondents who completed the questionnaire in English.

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.

Suggesting Change : The Situation of the English-speaking Minority of Quebec and Proposals for Change - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2002)
Actions by the Government of Canada, such as the Speech from the Throne in January 2001, the nomination of Minister Stéphane Dion to coordinate the Federal Government's policy on official languages and chair the team of Ministers directly involved in Official Languages Policy and Program and his desire to develop an action plan to support the application of the Official Languages Act are encouraging. The demonstration of the political will of the Government to fulfill its obligation to ensure the full support of the development of vibrant and healthy Official-language minority communities throughout Canada is absolutely essential. It is, thus, incumbent on the Government that there is understanding and acceptance of the needs and realities of each linguistic minority community by both the majority populations and by those within the Canadian Government whose job is to develop and implement policy in support of the Francophone and Anglophone minority communities. The Official Languages Act must ensure the means and mechanisms for coordinated action and mobilization of the necessary resources to empower official minority language communities. As such, the action plan put forward by Minister Dion must be aimed at enabling the English-speaking minority in Quebec to build its own capacity, using solid facts and broad-based knowledge to be able to work with all governments to maintain and develop strong, vibrant English-speaking communities throughout Quebec.

Strategic Plan 2018-2023 - Coasters Association (2018)
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.

Strategic Development Plan Oriented Towards Tourism : Phase I (2006-2008) - Gagnon, Luc (2005)
Entry Island constitutes an undeniable attraction for visitors to the Magdalen Islands, as well as for Madelinots. About 9,000 people visit the island to holiday or on excursions each year. However, the lack of appropriate facilities and services makes it difficult to receive visitors properly. Failings in this area lead to degradation of the environment and reduced quality of life for residents. Recognizing the need to receive its guests in an appropriate manner and to better direct their visit - as well as recognizing the opportunity to offer them an exclusive, quality product - the Entry Island Harbour Authority hired Luc Gagnon, an anthropology student at Universite Laval to accompany the community through a process of strategic development planning oriented towards tourism.

Statement on Bill 96 : An Act Respecting French, the Official and Common Language of Quebec - The English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) (2021)

Statement on Bill 21 : An Act Respecting the Laicity of the State - The English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) (2009)
The English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) was founded in 1981 with the mission to act as a catalyst, convener and facilitator of collective action for the English-speaking Catholic community of Quebec. As an organization inspired by Catholic social teaching, the Council is concerned for the common good and is apprehensive as to the implications of Bill 21 (An Act respecting the laicity of the State) for the social and civic welfare of Quebec society. In the main, the objections the Council have regarding the current legislation are similar to those we expressed in our 2013 brief on Bill 60 (Charter affirming the values of State secularism and religious neutrality and of equality between women and men, and providing a framework for accommodation requests)1 However, there are a number of critical differences between the 2013 legislation and that introduced in 2019.

Soutien en langue française pour les professionnelles et professionnels d'expression anglaise au Québec - Juste, Catherine-Laure (Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT), 2022)
La langue française peut représenter un obstacle pour les professionnelles et professionnels d’expression anglaise qui doivent exercer leur profession en respectant les politiques linguistiques en place. Malgré un haut niveau de bilinguisme parmi les Québécois·e·s d’expression anglaise, le français demeure une embuche pour certain∙e∙s. Ces personnes professionnelles bénéficieraient de formation linguistique additionnelle en lien avec leur métier. Non seulement la maîtrise du français est un prérequis pour se joindre aux ordres professionnels québécois, mais, dans certains cas, les personnes qui ne satisfont pas aux critères linguistiques doivent aussi passer un examen de français de l’Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF). En outre, les ordres professionnels peuvent demander à leurs membres de se soumettre, durant leur carrière, à des examens de compétences linguistiques en français.

Sondage Youth Pulse Check : Rapport des résultats du sondage - Nigam, Sunita (Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN), 2022)
This document outlines the most important findings of the Youth Pulse Check, a mental health survey filled out by 456 English-speaking youth between the ages of 18-29 from 14 regions across the province of Quebec. Although 90% of respondents said they struggled at least somewhat often with their mental wellbeing and 81% of respondents, said that the COVID-19 pandemic has increased their struggles to feel well at a level 3 or more on a scale of 1 to 5, the survey revealed that many English-speaking youth feel there are significant gaps and barriers in accessing mental health services in their region. If many youth reported having sought out help in the past without success—meeting with barriers such as long wait lists, the prohibitive costs of mental health support, or the unavailability of services in English— other youth reported not having sought out help because of a lack of information about services to which they might turn.

Sense of Belonging Among English-speaking Youth in Québec : Confronting Isolation Through Digital Community Building - Pettem, Alexandre (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2022)
Since the onset of Covid-19, community has come to inhabit a digital medium for many of Québec’s English-speaking youth. But what does this mean in concrete terms? How is this linguistic minority using social media, and in what manner are they experiencing this digital shift? Will they want to keep having online events going forward? Our paper observes the digital behavior of young (aged 16-30) English-speaking Québecers from March 2020 until the current moment in the pandemic’s development.

Senior Care Services in English in Quebec : Executive Summary of Final Report and Recommendations of the Ministry of Health and Social Services - 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.

Secondary School Exchanges : A Promising Way of Fostering Bilingualism in the Next Generation - Lai, Edward; Orme, Charlie; Fleming, Scott (Y4Y Québec, 2018)
In Quebec, it is a basic fact that a solid grasp of the French language is essential to finding work, participating fully in the political process, and integrating into society. While statistics show that bilingualism is very common among the Englishspeaking minority, and especially so among youth, problems nonetheless arise. Young English-speakers frequently report that they do not feel confident enough in their ability to speak French, while others remark that their written French is not strong enough to land a job. Inadequate knowledge of French is a contributing factor to the higher unemployment rates experienced by young English- speakers. A lack of work, and a hampered ability to take part in public life in general, lead to the disenfranchisement of members of this community. Given the high demand among young English- speakers for more French-language training, policy makers must come up with new and creative ways of meeting the demand.

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.

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.

Report on the Survey on Music and Dance Conducted by the English Language Arts Network - English Language Arts Network (ELAN) (2007)
ELAN has existed since 2005. The MAAP I survey of visual artists in 2006 was beneficial to the visual arts community. Le regroupement des artistes en arts visuels is providing more support and more than 300 visual artists joined ELAN to network with other artists. No umbrella group exists for English-speaking musicians or dancers in Quebec. The MAAP II survey wanted to know how much support musicians and dancers currently receive, where it is obtained, and what is missing. The purpose of the Minority Anglophone artists project II (MAAPII) was to reach out to the music and dance communities across Quebec to inform them of ELAN’s mandate and services and to assess the needs of Anglophone artists working in these communities. The needs of the communities were assessed by surveying Anglophone musicians and dancers on how they are pursuing their careers and what services would be useful them.

Report on the Proposed Ethics and Religious Culture Program - The English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) (2006)

However, we recommend some major revisions to the program. Five interrelated areas stand out for us.

Report on the Proceedings of the Advancing Women in STEM Community Leaders Forum & Strategic Recommendations - Association for Canadian Studies (ACS) (Youth Employment Services (YES), 2018)
YES Montreal is currently leading one of 20 initiatives funded by Status of Women to advance gender equality in Canada. Advancing Women in STEM is a three-year grant project (2017-2020) that aims to address and identify solutions to a number of systemic challenges hindering women’s retention and access to leadership positions within the STEM industry. This initiative follows from two previous ones; in the inaugural project (2012-2015), YES conducted three annual gender-based analyses of Quebec’s technology sector and in the second project (2015-2017) developed a tailored mentorship model for women in Montreal’s STEM industry. The overarching goal of the Advancing Women in STEM project is to create systemic change within STEM companies by shifting institutional practices to promote inclusivity and leadership opportunities for women. Successfully achieving this goal is dependent on the collaboration and support of industry and community leaders, particularly the project’s advisory committee that consists of fifteen outstanding women leaders who are highly engaged in this initiative and its outcomes.
