Quebec’s English-speaking community is coming together to fight the province’s language reform, Bill 96.
The Quebec English School Boards Association (QESBA) along with the Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN), the English Parents Committee Association (EPCA) and the Quebec Federation of Home Schools Association (QFHSA) say they have “no other option but to fight for the complete rollback of this measure.”
Parents and students in Quebec are preparing to head back to school in one week amid a wave of Omicron cases.
Adding to that stress, some parents of 12- and 13 year-old students say that, when it comes to the distribution of rapid test kits, they’ve fallen through the cracks.
“I feel like what’s happened since mid-December to now is like a raging inferno and it’s just adding more fuel to the fire unnecessarily, creating more stress unnecessarily,” said Katherine Korakakis, the president of the English Parents Committee Association (EPCA).
The QCGN is funded by the Government of Canada through the Department of Canadian Heritage.
