Fondation des Townshippers

Townshippers’ Foundation 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.
