Between 2017 and 2020, EURÊKO!, an environmental organization committed to the restoration, protection and conservation of ecosystems, developed and experimented the Municipalité Nourricière approach in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region. The objective of this approach is to implement participatory activities and collective decision-making for territorial food related projects. This research documents the entire approach to assess its impacts and limits in the four municipalities targeted by the research, to identify the factors of failure and success. Our theoretical framework is based on the concepts of food changes, food strategy, food resilience and community mobilization. An exploratory and qualitative research approach was adopted. The main results reveal a disparity between the four municipalities in the appropriation of the approach, particularly in motivation, mobilization, citizen participation and project ownership.

In recent years, a significant amount of research has been done on the varieties of spoken French in Western Canada. Much remains to be done, nonetheless, and it is important to continue to collect, describe and analyze data, as we seek to present an accurate portrait of the Francophone communities in Western Canada. This has been the principal objective of this team of six researchers working on the particularities of each variety of Western Canadian French and on each community where the language is spoken. Moving from East to West (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta) and serving as a foundation for further research, this paper offers a descriptive survey of current research activities in the field and suggests ways to reflect on the interpretation of both existing and newly-collected spoken language corpuses. The variety of corpuses presented here allows for further analysis in connection with other large-scale projects (PFC – Le français à la mesure d'un continent), in an effort to enrich our knowledge of the many varieties of French in the Francophone world.

The financing of small businesses (SBs) remains a key concern, which this article addresses through the study of the poorly addressed topic of the financing decision through the demand-side. The article is based on the importance of the role of the manager as a decision maker. Taking a step aside from the work in classical entrepreneurial finance, this research focuses on the building of the decision, and is based on a processual approach. To this end, the theoretical framework is based on the initial hypothesis of a manager's choice based on a proxemic logic. Seven cases are then studied empirically to explore this hypothesis, using developments from strategic decision-making in SMEs. The results reveal the existence of a behavioral spectrum ranging from proactivity to an opportunistic wait-and-see attitude among executives of SMEs. Decision-making can be modeled in four fundamental stages. They also show a limitation of the historical three-dimensional model to study the financing decision in SMEs. Finally, they suggest embracing the proxemics approach as a heuristic for small business management, particularly with respect to financing decisions.

This article explores challenges that Francophone newcomers face at their arrival in a francophone community in a minority context in Canada, as well as the impact of these obstacles on, and moderating factors associated to, the integration process. A qualitative research was conducted, using semi-structured interviews with sixty immigrants or refugees in three Canadian cities. The most challenging obstacle is the language barrier, as it has a direct impact on social integration and employment-seeking. The migration experience also has an impact on mental health, interpersonal relationships and physical health. Social support and personal resilience foster adaptation into the host community.
