“BELONGING & IDENTITY”
In 2020-2021, QAHN undertook an innovative project called “Belonging & Identity.” Funded in part by Quebec’s Secretariat for Relations with English-speaking Quebecers, and with the participation of Concordia University, this project enabled QAHN to lend valuable financial, communications, and logistical support to 10 local heritage organizations in 5 regions of the province. We are happy to report that this project has been renewed for 2021-2022!

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.
