Congratulations and “kudos” to all the amazing organizations in our region who have raised funds to help others:
Behind every organization are the people who work so hard to make a difference in our community, to enhance and enrich people’s health and lives. Some of these organizations include: L’Ouvroir, François Marcil, Fondation Médical des Laurentides and so many others. Also, thank you to all the other incredible organizations in our territory including 4 Korners, Centraide, Le Book Humanitaire, Moisson Laurentides, Les Ressources Communautaire Sophie, Le Garde Manger, La Maison des Jeunes, The Dome, Entraide, La Fouillerie, Soupe et Cie., Meals on Wheels, Shriner’s, Children’s Wish Foundation, The Steve O’Brien Foundation, La Samaritaine de Mont-Tremblant, Optimist Clubs, Lion’s Club and so many other noteworthy organizations (too many to name, you know who you are!) Let us recognize and appreciate all the community organizations working within the health and education fields who provide essential services and support. Even though the demand is ever-increasing, these organizations somehow manage to meet the demand. Kudos as well to the incredible women’s support centers in our area: La Citadelle, L’Ombrelle and Maison L’Ariane. Behind the scenes of all these and other organizations are hundreds of volunteers who give of their heart and soul, their passion and their time. Please know that all of you are truly appreciated. Did you know that: STATION 210 BOUTIQUE CAFÉ at 210 route du Long-Sault has been open since 2018? The news is, they have just added ATELIERS to their name in order to reflect an already long-standing commitment to knowledge-sharing – and tasting amazing food! The new name is STATION 210 CAFÉ ATELIERS BOUTIQUE, which is housed in the old Fire Station of the historic village of St. André d'Argenteuil. Owners Karen Feiertag and Louis-Robert Frigault offer a surprising curation of useful, durable and beautiful objects for your home and gourmet dining table, body care and leisure activities. Since 2018, the boutique has won awards and become well-known beyond the region and is “not to be missed”, according to La Presse. Since the beginning, Karen and Louis-Robert have offered regular informal and formal tastings of gourmet products and increased their workshops led by creative, passionate experts in many areas. Now, tastings, demonstrations of cooking know-how and arts & crafts workshops are integral to a formal seasonal workshop program. A great place to do your Christmas shopping and a fabulous place to find wonderful, eclectic, unique items. Open Wednesday to Saturday 10 am -5 pm and Sunday 10 am -4 pm. 514 814-3685 / Check out their website at station210.co! facebook.com/station 210, Instagram.com/station210.co If you live near Gore, that you have access to delicious pizza 24/7? The relatively new La Boite à pizz' located at the Municipal Park on Cambria Road in Gore offers home-made pizza via a vending machine. Owners Chrystel Blot and Cyril Berthomier thought the idea was quite novel when they saw this service being offered in Martinique and France and brought the idea back home. There are 4 varieties of pizza, served piping hot from an induction oven in only 4 minutes or if you prefer you can order it cold and heat it up at your convenience at home. The decision is yours! Pizzas are 12 inches (approx 8 slices) so one pizza is ample for two people. $18.99 for cold pizza and $19.99 for hot pizza. Choices include Pepperoni, La Royale, La Gourmande or La Burger (a new flavour is introduced each season). The pizzas do not stay refrigerated any longer than 2 days and are made fresh by local pizzeria Oh Minot by Mama Pizza in St. Sauveur. You can pay for your pizza by interac or credit card at the machine. Super easy, delicious and super convenient! You get 15% off when you purchase 2 pizzas and more by using the promo code FAM15.
