Invitation to Community Hearing on Bill 40 – Appele Quebec

The CAQ government recently tabled “Bill n°40 : An Act to amend mainly the Education Act with regard to school organization and governance.” Only a handful of groups representing Quebec’s English-speaking minority were invited to appear during limited hearings before the Committee on Culture and Education at the National Assembly

APPELE-Québec is a broad-based alliance to promote the continued existence of English school boards governed by school board commissioners democratically elected by the English-speaking community at large. It believes that more of our voices need to be heard on the most significant transformations of our school system since the creation of linguistic school boards in 1988.

We genuinely want QCGN not only to survive this storm but to emerge more united and representative than ever. We would like to see a return to constructive deliberation around the board table on behalf of the entire English Speaking Community”.

Upcoming event: Roadmap to Leadership Development Training, Saturday, November 9, 2019

Upcoming Event

The Roadmap to Leadership Development Training

Saturday, November 9, 2019
9:00am – 4:00pm
Concordia University
Montreal, Quebec, Canada

An introduction to the philosophy of Leading from Above the Line: a principle grounded approach to leadership and personal development

Why is value-based leadership important?

Aspiring leaders today seek a value-based social and organizational framework which will better reflect fairness in relation to their time/contribution and integrity. This training begins this important conversation on how to promote and sustain value-based leadership in our society, communities and organizations. Several issues within our community often deny the importance of participatory, democratic, and value based governance and leadership which limits the involvement of a broad-cross section of the community in change efforts which are sustainable.

SPVM & Racism

Is The Montreal Police Service Really Serious About Working Towards Combating Racism? Reports Show ‘Systemic Biases’, When It Comes To Race, Still Exist In The Force

in National News October 16, 2019

There is a familiar French expression, “plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose”, which when translated says, the more things change the more they remain the same. Following the recent announcement of a class action suit, along with new allegations of racial profiling, the Montreal Police Service (SPVM) disclosed a new strategy, aimed at eliminating racial and social profiling.

According to Alex Norris, Chairperson of the Public Security Committee, the plan is the most ambitious and comprehensive, far-reaching plan that the SPVM has ever adopted to combat and prevent racial and social profiling.
