Letter From Executive Director August is a funny time of year. It’s still very much summer – just check your thermometer and remove all doubt – but there’s also the growing sense that something is just around the corner, and a feeling of excitement and anticipation in the arts community as we all prepare to […]
Letter from Executive Director Here we are at the beginning of July (well, almost), and somehow we’re already past the half-way point of 2023. And while a lot of folks are taking some well-earned time off, ELAN still has lots on the go to benefit our members and our community. First, our members should be […]
Hello everyone, it’s a pleasure to be writing you as Interim Executive Director! While I am new to the role, this month marks four years since joining the team for me, so I am certainly no stranger to ELAN and its community.

ELAN’s projects are working hard all year round to bring important services, creations, and resources to the Quebec Arts community.

ELAN is an official minority language organization within a country that recognizes two languages as official. ELAN is located in Tiohtià: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.
Thank you for visiting ELAN. Please note that in using this platform you agree to abide by our code of conduct. This applies to all visitors, regardless of whether or not you are a member.
