  • Language Contact and Mixing in Ottawa and Gatineau in 2011 Jack
    Language Contact and Mixing in Ottawa and Gatineau in 2011 Jack Jedwab November 2012 1. Introduction Recently released results of the 2011 census on language identification, language knowledge and home use revealed little change in the distribution of language groups in the National Capital Region since the 2006 census. This despite concerns that change in census context may give rise to problems in intecensal comparisons. Yet little change on some dimensions of language identification and knowledge should not be seen as good news. The table below looks at the percentage shift in population on the basis of mother tongue in the NCR and perhaps the point most worthy of interest is the rise in the percentage of mixed responses. In real number the mixed responses rose from 20 805 to 35 075 between 2006 and 2011 and English/French mixed responses from 10 500 to 16 665 over that same period for an increase of nearly 60%. Although the numbers may seem small they nonetheless reflect a census trend that is in part explained by more comfort in acknowledging dual language identity in a context where language policy analysts have often encouraged respondents to think in singular terms (you’re either an anglophone, francophone or other). Indeed despite the rise in the percentage reporting the first language they learned was both English and French), it is likely that this grossly under represents the percentage that identify with two languages. Indeed the 2011 census reveals that in the NCR some 53 195 speak both French and English most often at home, 81 440 people speaking French most often in their homes also to some degree report speaking English and 69 715 NCR anglophones report speaking some French at home.

  • Press Release for Immediate Release
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Jean-Marc Léveillé proposes a plan regarding housing Longueuil, June 29, 2021 — The mayoral candidate of Longueuil Citizen, Jean-Marc Léveillé, is concerned about the housing situation in Longueuil. Already last year, the pandemic complicated the move and the search for new housing, the situation this year shows no sign of improvement, while according to some estimates, around fifty families in Longueuil could find themselves homeless July 1st. While highlighting the efforts made this year by organizations and the City to support the citizens of Longueuil during this difficult period, the mayoral candidate of Longueuil Citoyen - Équipe Jean-Marc Léveillé proposes measures to increase the number of social and affordable housing units in Longueuil. To act now in order to accelerate the start of housing projects In the event of his election as Mayor of Longueuil, he intends to set up a municipal fund dedicated to accelerating the start of construction projects for social and affordable housing. Amounts that could have a leverage effect on several housing projects. An idea initially proposed in 2020 by Councillor Michel Lanctôt of the Antoinette-Robidoux District, which Jean-Marc Léveillé takes up in the commitments of Longueuil Citoyen. He also proposes that the City identify municipal buildings that could quickly be converted, as well as land that could accommodate new social or affordable rental housing projects. For the mayoral candidate of Longueuil Citoyen, the adoption of teleworking by our civil servants represents a unique opportunity for the City to consider the use of its real estate and land differently.

  • Canada's Changing Language Realities and the Challenge Of
    Canada’s Changing Language Realities and the Challenge of Bilingualism Part 1 Montreal increasingly trilingual (Gatineau most officially bilingual region in Quebec and city in Canada) Jack Jedwab January 9, 2007 Highlights -While elsewhere in Canada the objective of substantially increasing bilingualism seems improbable, in the Montreal region three languages are being more common for an important share of the region’s youth notably its growing allophone population acquiring both English and French. The 2006 census revealed that the level of official bilingualism amongst persons whose mother tongue is neither English nor French represented 50.2% of the Montreal population and thus it is fair to assume the majority of the city’s allophones are trilingual. Given the substantial growth of this group in Montreal the rate of trilingualism has increased from 16.5% in 2001 to 18% in 2006 with some 660 000 Montrealers knowing three languages. In fact some 94 000 Montrealers report knowledge of four languages representing nearly 3% of the metropolitan region’s population. In Canada some 2 million persons report knowledge of three languages representing some 6.4% of the population compared to 5.9% in 2001. -In 2006 Montrealers between the ages of 20 and 39 some one in four report knowledge of three languages. -Montreal is the most bilingual metropolitan area in the country, it is Gatineau that is Quebec’s most bilingual region and city in Canada. As Gatineau is part of the Ottawa-Gatineau metropolitan region its level of bilingualism as a city does not get the same notoriety as Montreal which is a CMA (in part three we will explore the evolution of bilingualism by age cohort in Gatineau compared to Ottawa, Ontario).

BMRC-IRMU REPORT II- April 2019 Industry of Employment by Immigration Status A Comparison of Major Cities in Ontario and Quebec Key Findings • In 2016, 83.2% of workers in Ontario and 81.8% of those in Quebec were employed in services. Between 2006 and 2016, health care and social assistance accounted for the largest increases in service sector employment in both provinces. • The share of workers employed in manufacturing declined in both provinces. It declined from 14.7% in 2006 to 10.4% in 2016 in Ontario and from 15.5% to 11.6% in Quebec. Despite the decline, manufacturing was still the third largest industrial sector by employment in both provinces in 2016. • The declining manufacturing and growing health care and social assistance sectors are the top two sectors of employment for foreign-born workers in Ontario and Quebec. Among Canadian-born workers, retail trade and health care and social assistance services are the top two sectors of employment.
