Its more than 1,600 members work in the nine James Bay Cree communities and the fourteen Inuit communities of Nunavik, as well as in Montreal, Gatineau, Saint-J\u00e9r\u00f4me, Opitciwan and Wemotaci. The territory that the AENQ covers has five languages: Inuktitut, Cree, Atikamekw, English and French.\r\n\r\n<strong>The aims of the Association are the defence and the promotion of the professional, economic and social interests of its members, the negotiation and the application of the collective agreements, all this taking into account the characteristics of Aboriginal contexts, including the ones arising from the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement.<\/strong>\u00a0In order to attain these aims, the AENQ is affiliated to the\u00a0<em>Centrale des syndicats du Qu\u00e9bec<\/em>\u00a0(CSQ) and is represented at the\u00a0<em>F\u00e9d\u00e9ration des syndicats de l\u2019enseignement<\/em>\u00a0(FSE), the\u00a0<em>F\u00e9d\u00e9ration du personnel de soutien scolaire<\/em>\u00a0(FPSS) and the\u00a0<em>F\u00e9d\u00e9ration des intervenantes en petite enfance du Qu\u00e9bec<\/em>\u00a0(FIPEQ).","couleur":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"1_colonne","texte":"<h1>A word from the president<\/h1>\r\nTurning fifty is no small feat. Yet, the AENQ has just reached this venerable age. As a union organization, it can\u2019t be overstated, the AENQ is one of a kind. From the composition of its members and the specificities of their employers, the territory it covers, its legal framework, and I could go on, the AENQ is unique and stands out from all other trade union organizations in Quebec.\r\n\r\nAffiliated to the Centrale des syndicats du Qu\u00e9bec (CSQ) since its inception, the AENQ is also affiliated with three CSQ federations: the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration des syndicats de l\u2019enseignement (FSE), the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration du personnel de soutien scolaire (FPSS) and the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration des intervenants en petite enfance du Qu\u00e9bec (FIPEQ).\r\n\r\nThe Association of Employees of Northern Quebec has changed names over the years; its present name better reflects its actual reality. In the early days, it was called the Northern Quebec Teachers\u2019 Association and, not so long ago, it went under the name of Northern Quebec Teaching Association. The word \u201cteaching\u201d was no longer fitting since the AENQ welcomed members from early childhood centres into its ranks, hence the need to change its name.\r\n\r\nThis year marks the 50th anniversary of the AENQ. We have reasons to be proud because we have been able to adapt to realities as they have evolved and we will continue to do so to better serve our members. Current times asks us to face major challenges; we fight at all levels to obtain the best working conditions for our members of the teaching and school support staff. It is crucial that we continue to rally around quality education.\r\nWe can never stress this enough: a union is only as strong as the mobilizing commitment of its members. Despite the many challenges we are facing, let\u2019s all take a moment\u2019s rest to celebrate this significant milestone.\r\n\r\nAs President, allow me to wish AENQ a long life!","couleur":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"1_colonne","texte":"<h1>History<\/h1>\r\nTo come !","couleur":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"1_colonne","texte":"<h1>Bylaws &amp; policies<\/h1>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aenq.lacsq.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2026\/08\/by-laws-2023-vf.pdf\">Bylaws (2023)<\/a>\r\n<h2><strong>AENQ Policies<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aenq.lacsq.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2026\/08\/policyconfidentiality.pdf\">Policy on confidentiality<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aenq.lacsq.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2026\/08\/policymembersrightsdefence.pdf\">Policy on the defence of rights of employees<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aenq.lacsq.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2026\/08\/policyparticipationunionactivity.pdf\">Policy on Participation in Union Activities<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aenq.lacsq.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2026\/08\/policytranslationdocuments.pdf\">Policy on the translation of written documents<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aenq.lacsq.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2026\/08\/politique_relative_a_la_collaboration_des_personnes_salariees_eng.pdf\">Policy on the collaboration of employees<\/a>","couleur":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"1_colonne","texte":"<h1>The 2023 congress<\/h1>\r\nBack to the congress in photos!","couleur":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"photo_gallery_block","title":"Back to the congress in photos!","gallery":[92,91,90,89,88,87,86,85,84,83],"button_label":""}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aenq.lacsq.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/108","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aenq.lacsq.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aenq.lacsq.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aenq.lacsq.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aenq.lacsq.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=108"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/aenq.lacsq.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/108\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":121,"href":"https:\/\/aenq.lacsq.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/108\/revisions\/121"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aenq.lacsq.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
