RESOLUTION
The following is an official extract of the Minutes of the Annual General Meeting of the Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network (QAHN), held in Quebec City on June 9, 2018:
"Whereas the history and heritage of Quebec’s English-speaking communities is reflected in the province’s landscape and built heritage;
Whereas the place names and monuments that reflect the English-speaking history and heritage of Quebec speak to the important contribution that English-speaking communities have made, and continue to make, to the social, political, cultural and economic history of the province;
Whereas the preservation of place names and monuments that reflect the history and heritage of Quebec's English-speaking communities are important for English-speaking citizens to maintain a sense of place and belonging in the province, now and in the future;
Whereas the history and heritage of English-speaking communities is a legacy that belongs to all Quebecers;
Be it resolved that the Quebec Anglophone Heritage network strongly urges the Commission de toponymie du Québec to at all times respect the historic contributions of Quebec’s English speaking community builders."
