Voice of English-Speaking Quebec

The Voice of English-speaking Quebec (VEQ) is an autonomous, non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of a dynamic English-speaking community in the Greater Quebec and Chaudière-Appalaches regions and to the promotion of its interests. VEQ acts as a hub of information for the English-speaking community and offers information and referral services to members of the community and newcomers. VEQ also fosters community cohesiveness by creating opportunities for social interaction and professional network; supports the development of the community by acting as a catalyst developing new initiatives that will benefit the community; and promotes the interests of the community through identifying issues of interest to the community, researching and preparing positions and, if appropriate, presenting these positions to the proper forums or authorities.

The Voice of English-speaking Quebec views its advocacy role within the community as critical to ensuring the preservation of English-speaking institutions, traditions and cultural significance in the region. With some 1300 active members and over 60 associated community groups, VEQ has played a vital role in the preservation and development of community life for the English-speaking community for more than two decades.
