  • Nurturing Media Vitality in Quebec's English-Speaking Minority

    Nurturing Media Vitality in Quebec's English-Speaking Minority

    Brief to the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage Nurturing Media Vitality in Quebec’s English-speaking Minority Communities Presented by the Quebec Community Groups Network April 12, 2016 Introduction The Quebec Community Groups Network, or QCGN, is a not-for-profit representative organization. We serve as a centre of evidence-based expertise and collective action. QCGN is focused on strategic issues affecting the development and vitality of Canada’s English linguistic minority communities, to which we collectively refer as the English-speaking community of Quebec. Our 48 members are also not-for-profit community groups. Most provide direct services to community members. Some work regionally, providing broad-based services. Others work across Quebec in specific sectors such as health, and arts and culture. Our members include the Quebec Community Newspaper Association (QCNA). English-speaking Quebec is Canada’s largest official language minority community. A little more than 1 million Quebecers specify English as their first official spoken language. Although 84 per cent of our community lives within the Montreal Census Metropolitan Area, more than 210,000 community members live in other Quebec regions. Media Landscape English-speaking Quebecers have consistently signalled that access to information in their own language is both a need and a priority (CHSSN-CROP survey, various years). This may seem a bit of a contradiction in a world awash in English language information through CNN, Time magazine and Hollywood movies galore. The important nuance is that English- speaking Quebecers need information in their own language about their own local and regional communities, something that is increasingly hard to access on a consistent basis in a context of the francization of daily life in Quebec and the demise of traditional community media.

PHOTO BY JOHN MAHONEY /Montreal Gazette Paula Girolami never intended to homeschool her children. But as the main caregiver for an elderly, immuno-compromised family member, she felt she couldn’t risk her boys bringing COVID-19 back from school. Last September, she reluctantly withdrew her sons, Domenico, 10, and Renato, 14, and took on the responsibility of ensuring they would make it through Grades 4 and 9 from their home in Lachine. They were among nearly 7,700 Quebec children who were taken out of their traditional classes this year because of COVID fears, more than doubling the total number of children homeschooled in the province annually.

We have continued to grow, starting several new projects and programs, and we have solidified and strengthened our existing programs and internal structures. The year started off with a packed AGM and a competitive board election where 12 board members were elected. We began with a weekend-long training shared with QPIRG McGill, where we learned about QPIRG’s mandate and operations. Later in the fall, we also attended a conflict-resolution training hosted by the Centre for Community Organizations (COCo). As a board this year, we were involved in every part of QPIRG’s functioning, including programming, finances, the resource library, policy development, CURE, Study in Action, and various hiring committees.
