Background
Townshippers’ Association has been a voice for the English-speaking community
in the Eastern Townships since 1979. People trust us when we talk about issues
that matter to English speakers.
We support our local communities through a variety of programs:
- We help people find and access health care and services in English
- We support seniors, families, and youth
- We encourage job creation and strengthen the local economy
- And we celebrate our community’s history and culture
We work in the Eastern Townships, and we are happy to lend a hand to partners
across Quebec who ask for our help.
What we do
At Townshippers’ Association, we have three main goals:
- To support the interests of the English-speaking community in the Eastern Townships.
- To keep the culture and identity of this community strong.
- To encourage English speakers to take part in their local communities and Quebec society.
How we do it
Here is how we accomplish our goals:
- We make sure the voices of English speakers are heard when big decisions are on the table.
- We use our time, money, and partnerships to help our communities grow, and we plan for the resources we will need in the future.
- We make our community strong by supporting people who want to stay here and by welcoming new English speakers.
- We get young people involved in the community and help them become leaders.
- We highlight the important role English speakers play in Quebec society.
What guides us
Here’s how we make decisions and plan our work:
- Everything we do connects to our organizational goals and our mission.
- We carefully check each of our projects to make sure they fit with our plans and the promises we make to our partners and members.
- We make decisions by listening to the community, looking at facts and numbers, and using reliable research.
