As part of a larger research project on vitality indicators, the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages initiated a study of the English-speaking community of Québec City. The goal of the study was to understand vitality and the indicators of progress in the development of each individual community. See the summary presentation for an overview of the objectives, process and observations of the overall project that also focused on two other communities: the Eastern Townships and the Lower North Shore.
This report profiles various aspects of Québec City’s English-speaking community: its history, current demographics, community resources and a selection of best practices and success stories. The purpose is to provide background and set the context for the vitality model (results, indicators and data sources) described in each of the four sectors and which the community has determined are key to the enhancement of its vitality. Certain community members who are active in target sectors were asked to map out community vitality by identifying key activities, results, indicators and data sources. These were then elaborated on and refined by the research team.
