Yes, the dynamic of the Eastern Townships is really interesting. It's a demographically declining community, one of Quebec's traditionally anglophone communities where they're experiencing that phenomenon, which is quite frequent in the entire region east of Montreal and in the anglophone school system. A lot of students are not really taking part in anglophone culture because they are children of exogamous families that speak French in the home. In some respects, that's positive, to the extent that they will learn English, but be perfectly comfortable in French. From a cultural standpoint, that represents some challenges because the school wonders what its community mandate is.
