As mentioned in a previous news item<\/a>, the Proximit\u00e9 solidarity card project has several objectives: to improve access to fresh, seasonal food, to reduce the stigma attached to those benefiting from the basic project, and to support local producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start contributing to the 2026 edition this Saturday!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With prices constantly rising, access to healthy, affordable, and locally sourced food is becoming increasingly difficult. To ensure the continuity of the Proximity Cards initiative in 2026, the community is invited to contribute. Residents participate by purchasing a Proximity card for themselves to use this September and October at the Sutton Market and by making a donation that will be used to fund the distribution of Proximity Cards to food-insecure individuals in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For your information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • $200 feeds one person for four months;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • $300 feeds a couple for four months;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • $400 feeds a family of three for four months;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • $500 feeds a family of four or more for four months.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Would you like to contribute to this project?<\/strong> Fill out the online form below and Dana Cooper, our food security project coordinator, will contact you to give you your card and collect your payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Dana will also have a table at the Sutton Market this Saturday, August 9, from 8 a.m. to noon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Every donation counts! Thank you for participating!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Remember that the Proximit\u00e9 card allows you to buy fresh, healthy food at the Sutton Market from local producers of vegetables, fruit, meat, eggs, and honey. Participating producers are: Les jardins de Tessa, Le potager Les nues mains, Le Rizen, la ferme la Radicelle, la ferme La Petite bergerie, Windy Rock Farm, and Miel Missiskoui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Let’s join forces to support our neighbours and the local farms that feed us!
