Je Me Souviens: Portraits of Who We Are
2022/2023
COM-Unity Project Part 3
For the third and final phase of the COM-Unity project, Seniors Action Quebec produced a short documentary bookending the first- and second-year videos. The documentary wove the interviews from the first-year project with English-speaking seniors with the footage for the second-year project that focused on English-speaking organizations working directly with seniors, to investigate and determine what belonging means to English-speaking seniors throughout the province.
The COM-Unity Project is a collaborative effort between Seniors Action Quebec and Blue Met, BCRC, ELAN, Learn, QAHN, and Y4Y Québec. Each organization is contributing from the perspective of the community they serve to an examination of the concept of belonging in the minority English-speaking community of Quebec.
