Letter from the President
To our valued members, community partners, and elected officials: thank you. Your collaboration and shared vision over the past year have been essential to ARC’s success.
We extend our sincere gratitude to our funders. Your continued support allows the Assistance and Referral Centre (ARC) to provide vital services to the English-speaking community in the Montérégie-Centre. Because of your generosity, our community remains connected, informed, and supported.
ARC’s employees, under the leadership of our new Executive Director, have strengthened the organization and deepened our understanding of our community’s evolving needs. Staff continue to adapt programming to ensure services remain inclusive, respectful, and accessible.
2025–2026 Challenges and Organizational Evolution
The 2025–2026 fiscal year presented significant challenges. To protect future operations, the Board of Directors implemented an important structural reorganization.
Our dedicated staff embraced these changes with resilience, ensuring uninterrupted support for the community.
At the same time, the Board developed a long-term succession plan to preserve institutional knowledge, maintain continuity, and respond effectively to changing community needs.
Advocacy Spotlight: Preparing for 2026–2027
Looking ahead, new regulations may affect the English-speaking community. ARC is actively working with elected officials to address these barriers and promote community empowerment. Our mission remains clear: to help our community thrive, protect access to health and social services in English, and ensure equitable access to government services.
Finally, I thank my fellow Board members, listed on page 24, for their many hours of dedication this year. Their leadership will help ensure ARC continues supporting the 63,000+ English speakers in the Montérégie-Centre for years to come.
Respectfully submitted,
Lorraine Torpy
