  • 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.

  • Canada Days at the University of Missouri
    Canada Days at the University of Missouri Let’s Talk Canada: The Role of Social Networks in the 2015 Canadian Election Monday, March 12th, 3:00-4:00 PM, S110 Memorial Union (Eyler Family Room) Social networks help us learn about and understand politics. What role do social networks play for Canadian voters trying to forecast party viability and election outcomes? Our social worlds often consist of echo chambers with voices in agreement with our own partisan preferences. Political Scientist Debra Leiter (University of Missouri-Kansas City) guides us through contemporary work on the most recent federal election in Canada. Leiter’s research focuses on the intersection of elections, voters, and political parties in advanced democracies. Climate, Cinema, and Cartography: Digital Storytelling Climate Change in Canada Tuesday, March 13th, 12:30-1:30 PM, Physics 120 Climate change is often a complex - even disorienting – issue for many people. In Canada, citizens, businesses and governments are in the early stages of climate change planning, yet a detailed map to guide the nation has yet to emerge. The Climate Atlas of Canada (www.climateatlas.ca) fills this gap. It is one of the only tools in the world that integrates interactive web design with climatology, cinema, and cartography to geovisualize and connect scientific data with digital storytelling to bring the global issue of climate change closer to home for an entire country. In this multi-media presentation, University of Winnipeg researcher and filmmaker Dr. Ian Mauro will share results from this soon-to-be released project, and lessons learned from the frontlines of digital storytelling.

    Adventure travel a major draw Ecotourism as well. 'People are graduating from regular mass tours' BY MISTY HARRIS, CANWEST NEWS SERVICE JULY 10, 2010 A sweeping tourism study of developed countries around the world has ranked Canada in the Top 10 both for adventure opportunities and being a "safe and welcoming" place in which to experience them. Canada placed seventh out of 28 nations for its combined scores in tourism entrepreneurship and adventure activity resources, and eighth for the collective elements of sustainability, safety, natural resources and health. The report, jointly issued by George Washington University, the Adventure Travel Trade Association and Xola Consulting, is based on detailed data from government and private-sector agencies internationally. "People are graduating from those regular mass tours where they find themselves on a bus with 20 people from the same town that they're from," says Philippe Duverger, research director for the Adventure Tourism Development Index. "Adventure now represents about 20 per cent of why people travel -and it's growing." Where Canada stumbled in the rankings was in what Duverger calls "readiness," which incorporates scores for tourism infrastructure, cultural resources, image and humanitarian development. Despite high marks for our image -nearly nine out of 10 possible points -a dismal rating of 4.76 in the humanitarian area, which evaluates a country's partnerships with non-government and aid organizations, pushed Canada to 24th in this category. By contrast, some of the nation's most impressive scores were in factors that can't be created -think rare natural resources, open spaces and opportunities for ecotourism.

    Archives of Ontario Original and Microfilmed Newspaper Collections in the Archives of Ontario Most Recent Update: L 23 Customer Service Guide December 2003 Introduction This finding aid (L 23) contains a complete inventory of original newspaper holdings of the Archives of Ontario for newspapers published in the province of Ontario and its predecessors, Upper Canada and Canada West, which are not on microfilm. The finding aid also includes an inventory of the Archives holdings for all newspapers on microfilm, regardless of place of publication. The microfilm series for these newspapers are prefixed by an "N" code. Please consult the newspaper card catalogue in the Main Reading Room for detailed descriptions of individual reel contents of newspapers on microfilm, and for the reel numbers of mastheads listed here. Historical introductions and tables of contents for the newspapers on microfilm are filed by "N" number in Appendices "A" to "C" of the Newspapers Collection Inventory. Column eight in Appendices A4 and A5 indicates whether an introduction is available () or not (X) for newspapers under a specific "N" number. These introductions are usually on the first reel of each microfilm series. Original Newspapers are listed alphabetically by masthead (Appendix A1), then by place (Appendix A2), with the exception of Toronto, which is catalogued separately (Appendix A3). Newspapers on Microfilm are listed sequentially by the "N" catalogue number for the film series (Appendix A4), then by place of publication, followed by masthead and date range order (Appendix A5). NB: the definite article “The” has been omitted from the Masthead listings and the community’s name has usually been deleted, if it is the same as the one in the "Place of Publication" column.
