January 26, 2010 - QCGN partners release toolkit for building leadership in rural Quebec
Montreal, Gaspé, Quebec, Low, Netagamiou – January 26th, 2010 - Quebec’s English-speaking communities face multiple types of isolation and young women in these communities who are emerging as new leaders experience unique challenges that conventionally designed projects fail to effectively address. “Supporting these young women while contributing to effective community development in the official language minority context is a complex task,” commented Sylvia Martin-Laforge, Director General of the Quebec Community Groups Network, at the launch of a toolkit for building leadership in rural Quebec today in Montreal. ''The toolkit we are launching today is the result of the documents that were assembled during the process'', said Mrs. Martin-Laforge, noting the toolkit is aimed at linguistic minorities interested in best practices for rural community development; individuals or groups who want help developing their rural communities; young women wishing to develop their leadership or community development skills; as well ascommunity organizers, project coordinators, and other professionals.
