On October 26, 2017, the Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) recognized the work accomplished by Jim Carter throughout his long career by awarding him the Sheila and Victor Goldbloom prize. Created in 2009, the Goldbloom Prize is an initiative of the QCGN to underline exceptional contributions of people who, like Sheila and Victor Goldbloom, have devoted themselves to the greater vitality of their English-speaking communities both within Quebec and within Canada.
In the spring of 2017, the Dialogue McGill management team wanted to take advantage of the Project’s renewal period to identify lessons learned during implementation of the Language Training Program over the past three years and see what improvements they could make to it for the next five years.
The team wanted to take advantage of the knowledge and experience of respondents who are responsible for language training at the CISSS and CIUSSS in Quebec4. These respondents play an essential leading role in the implementation of the Language Training Program.
The Health and Social Services Community Leadership Bursary Program continues to grow each year. In order to measure the program’s impact and to ensure that it is fulfilling its primary mission (better access for English-speaking communities in Quebec to healthcare and social services in their own language), the management of Dialogue McGill has commissioned Dr. Marie-Pierre Gagnon, a professor in the Faculty of Nursing at l’Université Laval, to conduct follow-up surveys twice annually with both the bursary recipients and their sponsoring community networks.

The conference will bring together theories, frameworks, concepts and methods from a broad range of disciplines in the medical sciences, social sciences and the humanities.

Mastering documentation is one of the pathways to translation excellence. Mastering it in more than one language is an added value. Such is the case for Cheryl Smeall, who is the 2017 recipient of the McGill Associates Prize in Translation (French-English). Dr. Smeall received this distinction at the spring graduation ceremony when she was awarded a Certificate in Translation in the French to English option.
What better way to become an experienced translator than to work one’s way up from the bottom. Hélène Roulston is living proof of the adage that one becomes a good translator by producing good translations and having the knowledge base to produce quality work. That sums up Hélène Roulston’s recipe for success. She is the 2017 recipient of the McGill Associates Prize in Translation (English-French).
Dr. Liliane Asseraf Pasin was selected as one of the winners of this year's McGill Awards for Equity and Community Building, in part for her Dialogue McGill- funded project Improving Access to Practice for English-Speaking Internationally-Trained Physical Therapists.
