Title
In The Know: Results of a Three-Year Study on the Relationship Between English-Speaking, Bilingual and Ethno-Cultural Community Groups and the Government of Quebec
Abstract
The authors point out that there has been a scarcity of documentation about English-speaking, bilingual and ethno-cultural community groups in Quebec. Their community-based action research project "In The Know: Identifying Multiple Aspects of Quebec’s Community Sector" aimed to fill this gap by conducting a three-year study that identifies these groups, portrays their characteristics, and explores their relationship with the Government of Quebec, especially in terms of funding possibilities. The methodology, historical context of the study and a literature review are provided in the article. The authors discusses the relevance of the results of the research for the groups and communities in question. Four finding are elaborated upon: they offer a profile of these groups, and explore communication difficulties, funding challenges and participation in network affiliations.
