2021 Carte Proximité Report – Year 2
The success of the first year of the Carte Proximité project gave a major boost to this second year. More partners, a greater number of households reached and many rich collaborations have characterized this second year of expansion, not without its challenges, of Carte Proximité.
Collaboration with the Centre de Recherche en Santé Publique
Evaluation being at the heart of this pilot project, a second partnership was created with an enlarged research team, thanks to substantial financial support. To document and evaluate this pilot project in its second year, Carrefour Solidaire CFC was fortunate to collaborate with a research team led by Geneviève Mercille, affiliated with the Centre de recherche en santé publique (CReSP). The research team is coordinated by Myreille Hébert, with assistance from Elsie Harb.
The results of this study are available in this CReSP report. Many thanks to everyone involved!
2020 Carte Proximité Report – Year 1
With this pilot project, the Carrefour solidaire tested and documented the subsidized purchase of local food through the food voucher approach with the Carte Proximité program.
This project took off just as the pandemic was taking hold in Quebec, exacerbating the already present issues of food insecurity. The project was launched against a backdrop of rising needs and shrinking community resources.
