By Matthew McCully – Community leaders and organizations representing English-speaking Quebecers have joined together to form a provincial alliance to support democratically elected school boards and convince the government to maintain them. The new group, APPELE-Québec – the Alliance for the Promotion of Public English-language Education in Québec, was launched officially Thursday at a press conference in Montreal. The Quebec-wide community coalition will work to promote the continued existence of English school boards and ensure they are governed by commissioners who are democratically elected by the English-speaking community at large. APPELE already has 16 supporting organizations and nine observer groups. See full story in the Friday, April 26 edition of The Record.
