About the organizers

This is the second forum on community vitality and education convened by the Quebec English-Speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN). The forum is organized by the Inter-Level Educational Table (ILET), which brings together representatives of Quebec’s English-language educational institutions and associations, along with community groups and the public sector. ILET is a key initiative of QUESCREN. The forum program committee includes representatives of Quebec’s English-language educational institutions and associations, community groups, and the public sector.

QUESCREN

The Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN) was established in 2008 at Concordia University to improve understanding of Quebec’s English-speaking communities and promote their vitality. It is a collaborative network of researchers, stakeholders, educational and other institutions.
