More funding for community heritage on its way

--May 25, 2021.

The Quebec government will invest another $90,000 in the Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network (QAHN) this year to help develop museum and cultural activities that tell about English-speaking community history and heritage.

This is the second year in a row QAHN has received money from the province’s Secretariat for Relations with English-speaking Quebecers (SRQEA) to fund member-led programming.

RE: Sherbrooke Hussars and Colonel-Gaëtan-Côté Armouries

Dear Madame Brière,

The Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network (QAHN), which is based in Sherbrooke, has been following with great interest recent developments concerning the historic Sherbrooke Hussars armoury on William Street, and the Colonel-Gaëtan-Côté armoury on Belvédère Sud.

PRESS RELEASE FROM QAHN: "Two Official Language Minorities in Canada, Not Just One"

Two Official Language Minorities in Canada, Not Just One

Sherbrooke, Quebec. February 8, 2021

Canada’s Official Languages Act was established upon the principle that this country has two official languages, English and French, and that official language minority communities in Quebec (English-speaking Canadians) and elsewhere in Canada (French-speaking Canadians) must be treated equally -- at least in terms of federal language policy and delivery of services and support.
