Accessibility

ELAN is in the process of evaluating the accessibility of both our workplace environment and community programming as a whole. Staff conducted a thorough accessibility audit of our head office in spring 2019, and the results of this audit were transcribed into a report.

We are working to improve the accessibility of our head office in 460 Ste-Catherine West, a downtown commercial building constructed in 1910.

Below you will find a basic list of information so that new staff, partners and members are aware of the barriers that may exist when they visit us. More details can be found in the full report. We decided to use a living Google document so the report can be updated periodically as improvements are made or as additional access needs are brought to our attention.

Land Acknowledgement

ELAN is an official minority language organization within a country that recognizes two languages as official. ELAN is located in Tiohtiak:ke, the original name for Montreal in Kanien’kéha, the language of the Mohawk—also known as Mooniyang, which is the Anishinaabeg name given to the city by the Algonquin. While we are based in this city, our projects have also taken place in many regions across Quebec.

We acknowledge the colonial origin of English and French in Canada, and recognize that both languages benefit from official status throughout the land. The province that we know as Quebec is an amalgamation of the traditional territories of the Innu and Inuit nations, Algonquian nations, as well as the Mohawk nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Kanien’kéha and Anishinaabemowin are but two of the original languages of this province; Atikamekw, Cree, Inuktitut, and Innu-aimun are also among the many Indigenous languages spoken across Quebec as majority languages, all well before French and English.

ELAN acknowledges the important work being done by First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples to revive the traditional languages of these territories, and their advocacy for the official status of Indigenous languages.
