Our end-of-year festive meal was to have taken place face-to-face, organized around a meal, entertainment and concerts. Unfortunately, due to the health crisis, we had to make the difficult decision to reshape the event.

The meal was distributed as a takeaway and delivered to the homes of certain beneficiaries, and our members were invited to take part in our gift factory. Everyone had the chance to create decorations for the tree and scented candles to give to their loved ones or themselves.

In all, we welcomed 40 people to share a convivial moment over a hot drink and a chat.

The meal was provided by our volunteer Nathalie, Gilberte of the Association Francophone de Maillardville. L'Atelier Pâtisserie also made a substantial contribution to the dessert. The main course was ordered from Café Salade de Fruits. In addition to distributing to our members, La Boussole's small team went out to distribute dishes in the Downtown Eastside community.
