MISSION REISA, a community organization, works to increase access to health and social services in English for residents of Montreal’s East end, through collaboration with public, private and community stakeholders. PROFILE According to a study by the Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN) and Pocock (2014), English-speaking communities in the East end of the island represent a significant 14,8% of the area’s population. However, it is common that the needs of these communities are overlooked. REISA seeks to promote the English language as a communication tool and not as the language of work, in areas where minority groups are more comfortable receiving services in English than in French.
