Regional Development Network (RDN)
RDN was founded in November 2019 to respond to the need for effective representation and engaged involvement in enhancing the vitality and supporting the development of English-speaking communities across Quebec that work within a defined territory.
The organizations serving these communities face multiple socio-economic challenges in fulfilling their mandates. Typecast as ‘generalist’ organizations, they face funding constraints while dealing with community needs and issues in multiple sectors, within numerous jurisdictions, and in a minority language setting that is often not given recognition. In addition, many organizations must carry out their work over a large territory while serving isolated populations.
In this context, it was determined that there is a need for a network of ‘regional’ organizations serving the English-speaking communities of Quebec for the purposes of networking, collaboration, and representation to support the individual organizations in the work they endeavor to carry out.

The Advisory Committee for English-Speaking Quebecers (ACESQ) represents English speakers in Quebec’s employment landscape. Working closely with the Commission of Labour Market Partners, the ACESQ helps improve access to sustainable employment opportunities for English-speaking Quebecers.
