Townshippers’ Association has an Info Databank – a comprehensive database of information for and about the English-speaking community in the Eastern Townships. It is used to respond to a wide variety of questions by phone, email or personal contact.

Organizations that provide services in English are invited to contact Evelina Smith, the Association’s Information & Referral Coordinator, to be included in the Info Databank.

“The Info Databank project aims to collect as much data as possible about the Townships English-speaking community and its organizations,” Smith said.

“The Association’s Info Service offers confidential responses in English on a wide gamut of topics. The Info Databank will put this information at our fingertips.” Info Service personnel respond to questions concerning culture and arts, health and social services, communications, employment and education, and other topics. For example, one caller needed help getting into a pre-natal course in English, after having been told she was “not eligible” for it.

“We not only tell people where services in English are available, we can also help make them accessible,” said Smith. “Not everyone knows how to access what is there.”

The launch of the Info Databank in January 2003 included a widespread distribution of thousands of flyers and telephone stickers across the Townships.

The stickers bear the Association’s Info Service email address info@townshippers.qc.ca and telephone numbers: Sherbrooke 819-566-2182 (toll free 1-877-566-2182) or Cowansville 263-4422 (toll free 1-866-263-4422).

The Info Databank project was made possible in part by the financial support of the Department of Canadian Heritage.
