Adult Education Matters!! The right to choose matters!

Bill 8 could significantly reduce access to Adult Education and Vocational Training in the Eastern Townships, putting opportunities for hundreds of students at risk.

These programs provide a pathway to a high school diploma, skilled trades, employment, and greater independence. They also help address workforce needs in healthcare, education, construction, and other essential sectors.

Protecting English-language education rights means ensuring that learning opportunities remain accessible throughout life—not just during childhood.

Please take a moment to learn about the impacts of Bill 8 and share your concerns with local and provincial leaders.

Education changes lives. Let's protect access to it.

Bill 8, introduced on June 4, could have major consequences for students, families, employers, and communities across our region.

➡️ 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝟕𝟎% of adults currently attending our training centres would no longer be eligible by 2028.

➡️ 𝟖𝟓𝟕 𝐀𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 could lose access to their studies, representing a 𝟔𝟗% 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭.

➡️ Up to 𝟗𝟎% 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 could disappear in some vocational training programs that lead to essential, in-demand careers.

➡️ 𝟖𝟓% 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 in ETAGE's Social Participation Program could lose access to services that support independence and community participation.

Beyond the numbers, the future of vital programs, local jobs, and hundreds of qualified bilingual graduates who go on to work in our hospitals, schools, businesses, and construction sites is at risk.

𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬.
We encourage you to contact your provincial representatives, mayors, and local business organizations to help raise awareness about the potential impact of Bill 8 on our region.

Le projet de loi 8, déposé le 4 juin dernier, pourrait entraîner des conséquences majeures pour les étudiants, les familles, les employeurs et l’ensemble de notre région.

➡️ 𝐏𝐥𝐮𝐬 𝐝𝐞 𝟕𝟎 % des adultes actuellement inscrits dans nos centres ne seraient plus admissibles d’ici 2028.

➡️ Au total, 𝟖𝟓𝟕 é𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐝𝐞 𝐥𝐚 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐠é𝐧é𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐬 pourraient perdre l’accès à leurs études, soit une baisse de 𝟔𝟗 % 𝐝𝐞 𝐥𝐚 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭è𝐥𝐞.

➡️ Jusqu’à 𝟗𝟎 % 𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 pourraient disparaître dans certains programmes de formation professionnelle menant à des emplois essentiels et recherchés.

➡️ Près de 𝟖𝟓 % 𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 au programme de participation sociale d’ETAGE pourraient perdre l’accès à un service qui favorise leur autonomie et leur intégration à la communauté.

Au-delà des chiffres, ce sont des programmes, des emplois et des centaines de diplômés qualifiés et bilingues qui contribuent chaque année à nos hôpitaux, nos écoles, nos entreprises et nos chantiers qui sont en jeu.

𝐕𝐨𝐭𝐫𝐞 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐱 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐞.
Nous vous invitons à communiquer avec leur député provincial, leur maire ou leur chambre de commerce afin de faire connaître les impacts potentiels du projet de loi 8 sur notre communauté.
