Monday, October 6, 2014 - The Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) in partnership with Seniors Action Quebec launches the report from our community-based research project on English-speaking seniors in Quebec.
Our report, entitled Moving Forward - Building research capacity related to Quebec’s English speaking seniors, marks the culmination of an exciting three-year, participatory action research project led by the QCGN with expertise provided by the Quebec English-Speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN) at Concordia University. The project is funded by the Soutien aux initiatives visant le respect des aînés (SIRA) of the Provincial Ministère de la Famille et des Aînés.
Our project has built the most up-to-date and detailed portrait of English-speaking seniors in Quebec. The launch on October 6 will include presentations of statistical data from the 2011 Canadian Census and the 2010 provincial CHSSN/CROP Survey of Community Vitality, as well as the findings from our own project survey which was carried out from August to December of 2013 in eight selected regions of Quebec.
The morning’s presentations will be followed by a lunch and community discussion of the research findings. We hope you can join us.
Please note that attendance is limited. We ask that you RSVP no later than Thursday, October 2 to Alison Maynard, Seniors Project Event Coordinator, at [email protected]. Should you require further information, please contact Celine Cooper, Seniors Research Project Manager, at 514 868 9044 ext. 254 or by email at [email protected].
