completed

The project led by the solidarity cooperative - Café O’Marguerites consists of expanding the premises’ food preparation and storage space in order to: • develop and maintain a healthy local food offer available year-round and accessible to all; • increase the range of products offered to consumers; • increase the refrigerated space from 2 to 6 doors and the frozen space from 4 to 9 doors; • partner with the food security charity La Cantine pour tous to provide lunches to nearby schools; • provide an accessible space for citizens available for meetings in the village; and • deliver products to people with reduced mobility or in quarantine. The main works are defined as follows: • carry out exterior repair work on the building; • make major leasehold improvements to increase and ensure the supply of goods and services; • acquire additional equipment required to be able to offer even more diversity of local products; and • bring the air conditioning system up to standard. This project will enable the population of the town of Sainte-Marguerite-du-Lac-Masson to enjoy improved food security as defined by the United Nations Committee on World Food Security.
