Returning to School in the English Education System in Uncertain Times - Advisory Board on English Education (2020)
The sudden and widespread occurrence of COVID-19 has pointed out the great disparities across the province of Québec, such as the different situations between the cities and the regions, and also between sectors of the population within these settings. These differences have resulted in different policy decisions, such as when—or whether—to reopen schools, and we commend the Minister for applying local solutions to local situations. We hope this strategy will continue during the uncertainty that will apply to the probable second wave of the pandemic predicted for the Fall, and we welcome the possibility of different scenarios proposed in the working document on resumption of school for all in September. An unwelcome result of the rapidly changing situation and the need for quick decisions is the appearance of hasty, spontaneous decisions that are not conveyed appropriately to the educational partners who must respond to them. Policy -makers can react quickly. Systems can not. Announcing a policy then modifying or reversing it causes stress and confusion, especially when those who must implement the policy—including principals and teachers—feel excluded from the process.

Une rentrée sous le signe de l’incertitude dans le réseau scolaire anglophone - Advisory Board on English Education (2020)
L’apparition et la propagation soudaines de la COVID-19 ont mis en lumière de grandes disparités dans tout le Québec, notamment entre villes et régions, mais également entre divers segments de la population urbaine ou rurale. Ces disparités ont d’ailleurs mené à des décisions différentes, par exemple quant à la réouverture des écoles, et il y a lieu de saluer le ministre pour l’application de solutions locales à des situations locales. Nous espérons que cette stratégie sera maintenue pendant la période d’incertitude qui ne manquera pas de ressurgir avec la probable deuxième vague de la pandémie, prévue à l’automne . Nous accueillons favorablement la possibilité qu’il y ait différents scénarios, comme cela est proposé dans le document de travail sur la rentrée scolaire pour tous en septembre prochain. En revanche, l’évolution rapide de la situation et la nécessité d’agir promptement ont aussi comme résultat fâcheux quelques décisions spontanées et hâtives, qui ne sont pas transmises correctement aux partenaires du monde de l’éducation qui doivent pourtant y donner suite. Si les décideurs peuvent réagir rapidement, les systèmes ne le peuvent pas. Annoncer une politique, puis la modifier ou l’annuler est source de stress et de confusion, en particulier quand ceux qui doivent l’appliquer, dont les directeurs et les enseignants, se sentent exclus du processus.

Caregivers' Guide : Local and Regional Resources for Caregivers in the Centre-du-Québec - Centre for Access to Services in English (CASE) (2020)
The Institut de la Statistique du Québec states that as of 2015 as many as a quarter of the population of Québec were caregivers, the majority being female, for people with long-term health complications. The recipient of the care is most often a family member. The reason for needing care varies between chronic illness, disability, and difficulties related to aging. Of those providing care to family members, greater than one third act as a caregiver to more than one person.

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.

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.

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.

Meetings with community stakeholders were held in regions throughout Quebec. These culminated with a sectoral meeting in Quebec City on November 15, 2019. QCGN representatives participated as observers at all of the meetings. We made a presentation at the sectoral meeting.

Réponse à la consultation sur le programme Éthique et culture religieuse - Advisory Board on English Education (2020)
La Commission de l’éducation en langue anglaise (CELA) a pour mandat de « donner des avis au ministre de l’Éducation et de l’Enseignement supérieur sur toutes les questions touchant les services éducatifs dans les écoles anglophones primaires et secondaires ainsi que dans les centres d’éducation aux adultes et de formation professionnelle ». Elle est donc tenue de soumettre le présent mémoire dans le cadre de la consultation sur le remplacement du programme Éthique et culture religieuse (ECR). Cependant, nous, les membres, trouvons frustrant le court délai accordé pour la consultation, car nous n’avons pas le temps d’examiner minutieusement les études pertinentes, ni de consulter le milieu pour bien comprendre comment le cours est donné et accueilli dans les écoles. Les décisions relatives au curriculum, comme celles d’ordre pédagogique, devraient s’appuyer sur les conclusions d’études fiables. Nous avons des doutes quant à l’utilité des questions du sondage en ligne. Si l’on avait demandé aux répondants d’évaluer leur connaissance du contenu et de la pédagogie du programme actuel d’ECR, l’information aurait pu aider à jauger la pertinence de leurs opinions. Bien que le programme d’ECR représente une petite partie du programme global de formation au primaire et au secondaire, il joue un rôle déterminant dans le développement de nos futurs citoyens et mérite une réflexion approfondie. Cela dit, nous espérons que le ministre étudiera attentivement les documents qui lui seront soumis et que le programme proposé n’est pas déjà un fait accompli. Dans les huit thèmes du programme proposé, l’étude des différentes religions n’est mentionnée qu’une seule fois, ce qui traduit clairement l’intention du gouvernement de promouvoir la laïcisation de la vie publique. Nous doutons, cependant, que cela contribue à former efficacement les citoyens de demain dans une société de plus en plus diversifiée et pluraliste. Vu le temps dont nous disposons, nous ne pouvons que soulever la question. Il y a toutefois des problèmes pratiques et pédagogiques qui, selon nous, doivent être considérés et dont nous traiterons plus en détail ci-dessous.

Response to the Consultation on the Proposed Ethics and Religious Culture Program - Advisory Board on English Education (2020)
The mandate of the Advisory Board on English Education (ABEE) is “to advise the Minister of Education and Higher Education on all matters affecting the educational services offered in English elementary and secondary schools and adult and vocational education centres.” For this reason, we are obliged to offer this contribution to the consultation on replacing the Ethics and Religious Culture (ERC) program, although we are frustrated that the short time allowed for consultation does not allow us to do a careful study of pertinent research and to consult with the milieu to have a fuller understanding of how this course is offered and received in the schools. Curriculum decisions, just as pedagogical decisions, should be based on conclusions from robust research. We question the value of the questions in the on-line survey: it might have been revelatory to have asked respondents to estimate their knowledge of the content and pedagogy of the existing ERC program to assess the pertinence of their opinions. Although the program occupies a small part of the overall elementary and secondary school curriculum, it is a critical program in the development of our future citizens and one that merits thoughtful consideration. Nevertheless, we also hope that the Minister will consider carefully the submissions made to him and that the proposal does not represent a fait accompli. It is clear that the relegation of the study of different religions to one reference in the eight themes of the proposed program represents the government’s intent to further the secularization of public life. However, we question whether this will effectively educate future citizens in an increasingly diverse and multi-faceted society. In the time available, we can only raise the question, but there are pedagogical and practical issues that we believe need to be considered and that we will elaborate.

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.

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.

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 year was 1980 and the world was undergoing massive change. CNN launched, the Rubik’s cube went on sale and the Iran-Iraq war began. Closer to home, Quebecers voted in a sovereignty referendum to remain part of Canada, while the sports scene saw the Montreal Canadiens fail in their quest for a fifth consecutive Stanley Cup. But something else historic was also brewing in the province that year: Laubach Literacy Canada-Quebec (LLC-Q), the forerunner of Literacy Volunteers of Quebec, now known as Literacy Quebec.
