OTTAWA — Quebec anglophones have banded together with francophones in New Brunswick and Ontario to protect and promote the rights of official minority language communities.
The Societe de l’Acadie du Nouveau-Brunswick, the Quebec Community Groups Network and the Assemblee de la francophonie de l’Ontario called the partnership the first of its kind in Canada.
At a news conference in Ottawa, the three groups said they have signed a memorandum of understanding to work together more closely despite the language divide.
Geoffrey Chambers of the QCGN says it’s been difficult times for minority language rights in all three provinces and the organizations have expressed support for one another amid a number of decisions impacting their respective communities.
