List of Anglo-Quebecer communities
Encyclopedia
This is a list of municipalities in the Canadian
province of Quebec
where Anglo-Quebecer populations form over 35% of the total population. Anglo-Quebeckers, for the purposes of this list, are individuals who have English as a first language, including those with multiple first languages. As such, the list does not include those who primarily use English but for whom it is not a first language. The anglophone community in Quebec is centred primarily in the Greater Montreal, Montérégie
, Outaouais
and Estrie
regions, although there are smaller pockets of anglophone settlement throughout the province. Most Anglo-Quebeckers live in communities with significant numbers of other Anglo-Quebeckers but where they do not form a majority, ex Chateauguay, Montreal
. Not included in this list are demographically significant Native reserves that predominantly speak English, like Kahnawake, because the census has insufficient data on these communities due to political conflicts between the First Nations and the state.
