PROFILE OF THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING COMMUNITY IN THE EASTERN TOWNSHIPS
The Profile of the English-speaking Community in the Eastern Townships is a small bilingual book summarising recent research about the Townships English-speaking minority. It aims to inform decision makers, service providers and the general public about changes, little-known characteristics and trends in our community.
A Townshippers’ Association representative is also available to give a bilingual PowerPoint presentation of key points from the Profile to interested groups and associations.
Both the book and the PowerPoint were created thanks to the financial support of the Department of Canadian Heritage.
For free copies, contact Townshippers' Association at 257 Queen St., Sherbrooke, QC J1M 1K7, or 819-566-5717 (toll free 1-866-566-5717) or ta@townshippers.qc.ca.
