ABOUT US 

The Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network (QAHN) operates under a federal charter and is funded by the Official Languages Support Program of the Department of Canadian Heritage and Quebec's Ministere des Communications et de la Condition feminine. QAHN is governed by a Board of Directors composed of representatives from various regions and sectors of activity. Our members are historical societies, community groups, museums and individuals interested in the study of the anglophone heritage of Quebec. 

QAHN is affiliated with the Fédération des sociétés d’histoire du Québec (FSHQ) and the Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN), an umbrella organization for English-speaking community groups in Quebec.

Anglophone Heritage

Many Quebecers have links to anglophone heritage even though they may see themselves as having some other language or cultural attachment. There are many communities in Quebec which speak English but do not come from traditionally English nations. We do not focus exclusively on the heritage of the English, Scots, Irish and Welsh, but also Indian, Native, Jewish, West Indian and any other community which expresses itself in English. Similarly, there are many instances where Anglophone heritage is being preserved by the francophone community. We speak therefore of Anglophone heritage as a topic of study. QAHN is about those having an interest in heritage, is non-political and totally inclusive. Our concern is with the preservation of the English-speaking community’s heritage, not with the language.
