Help us map the healthcare needs of The Gaspesie 📊
In 2023, provincial data showed that almost half of English-speaking Quebecers felt they had unsatisfactory access to health services in their language. Today, we need to know what the reality is right here in our own neighborhood.
Without enough local respondents, we cannot create an accurate regional profile for Gaspesie—meaning our local gaps and challenges risk becoming invisible to public decision-makers.
Let's make sure our local community is counted. Take 5 minutes to complete the 2026 CROP Survey today.

🌈 June is Pride Month 🌈

This month, we celebrate love, diversity, inclusion, and the strength of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Pride is a time to uplift voices, honour identities, and continue building welcoming spaces where everyone feels seen, valued, and respected.

We believe that community grows stronger when everyone belongs. ❤️

Happy Pride Month from all of us! 🏳️‍🌈

As community organizations working across Eastern Québec, we are raising our voices in support of the long-term vitality and sustainability of our regions🤝
The proposed changes to Bill 101 restricting access to English vocational and adult education would not only limit educational pathways, they would weaken the systems that sustain our communities.
We believe education must reflect the reality of rural Québec, where schools and training centres are not just institutions, but essential pillars of economic and social sustainability.
Contact your local MNA and demand protection for regional access to English adult education and vocational training 🗣️

Les organismes communautaires de l’Est du Québec unissent leur voix pour défendre la vitalité et la pérennité à long terme de nos régions 🤝
Les changements proposés à la Loi 101, qui restreignent l’accès à la formation professionnelle et à l’éducation des adultes en anglais, ne font pas que limiter les parcours éducatifs — ils fragilisent les systèmes qui soutiennent nos communautés.
Nous croyons que l’éducation doit refléter la réalité du Québec rural, où les écoles et les centres de formation ne sont pas seulement des institutions, mais des piliers essentiels de la vitalité économique et sociale.
Contactez votre député(e) provincial(e) et demandez la protection de l’accès régional à l’éducation des adultes et à la formation professionnelle en anglais🗣️
