Committee for Anglophone Social Action

The Committee for Anglophone Social Action (CASA) was established in 1975 to meet the challenges facing the English-speaking population of the Gasp/ Peninsula. CASA's objectives are to protect and promote the interests of the English-speaking population; to encourage the development of a sense of responsibility to the community at both local and regional levels among all citizens, and to encourage the full use of human resources.

CASA also aims to recognize the value of and to stimulate public and private interests and concern in all matters relevant to CASA with an aim to increase participation of the general population in the definition of their requirements and desires. The Committee also works to ensure the English-speaking population receives adequate services and communications of all kinds throughout the Gaspé.

As well, CASA acts as a resource centre for citizens and organizations interested in helping improve the social, cultural and economic life of the area as it affects the English-speaking population, supports organizations and activities dedicated to preserving and developing the variety of cultures present within the English-speaking communities of the Gaspé, and facilitates and promotes participation in multicultural events to encourage greater participation in Quebec society.
