Community Vitality
Healthy schools are rooted in healthy communities. In the context of Quebec, signs of vitality for the English-speaking community include ongoing communication, cooperation and collaboration with Francophone institutions, the availability of educational and recreational activities in English, social and economic integration and more. For a better understanding of the signs of vitality, please review the tool “Signs of Vitality,” developed by Heritage Canada.
