One of the prevalent myths in Quebec is that Anglos only live in Westmount and the West Island of Montreal. When Quebec was still in its pioneer phase, the English presence was remarkably strong in regions from West Quebec and the Eastern Townships to the Gaspé and the Lower North Shore. How many people remember that Quebec City was 40% English-speaking in the Victorian Era? This engaging group of people share stories about their realities, which are unknown to most people living in Montreal.

À propos

Waves of Change is a 200-year oral history of Quebec’s English-speaking communities, recorded on the 50th anniversary of the FLQ crisis. Five episodes feature families that arrived in Quebec during successive waves of immigration. The historical Anglos pre-1945 – Colliding Solitudes; post-war Allophones 1945-70 – Le Vote Ethnique; the turbulent years 1970-1995 – Classe d’accueil; the new social contract years 1995-2010 – Crashing the Party; and recent arrivals 2010-20 – Invisible Hoops. The 54 interviews feature remarkably diverse, engaging and articulate eyewitnesses of Quebec history from an Anglo perspective. A special 6th episode features English-speaking communities from the Eastern Townships and West Quebec to the Gaspé and the remote Lower North Shore. These little-known communities have a fascinating story to tell about Regional Realities in Quebec.
