Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update

A message from QCGN President Geoffrey Chambers and Director General Sylvia Martin-Laforge

Dear QCGN Members, Stakeholders and Friends,

We hope all of you are staying safe and healthy as each of us does our part to flatten the curve and stop the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19). Our lives have been upended and we are doing our best to adjust.

Already this public health emergency has forced a virtual lockdown of our member organizations. Our QCGN office is closed, but our staff is working remotely to continue to provide necessary support to our members, stakeholders and community.

We at the QCGN maintain that our community organizations and institutions, which employ thousands of English-speaking Quebecers, are the cornerstones of our community. The critical need for community and government support for individuals, institutions and organizations – and their employees – cannot be underestimated. They are vital to the fabric of our community and the wider society in which we live and to which we actively contribute. This fundamental belief is guiding us in our discussions with government officials at all levels.
