For 60 years, small town across Quebec have been supporting P’tit Québec. Since 2021, we’ve been giving back to these communities to show our appreciation.

You have also brought happiness and hope in this time of pandemic, which has confined the elderly in our community for too long. Once again, thank you, and I assure you to praise your cheese P’tit Québec in our region.

In small towns across Québec, many small projects go unfinished due to a lack of funding and resources. P’tit Québec saw this as an opportunity to help. “P’tits Projets pas si P’tits” is an initiative which envisions empowering communities one stop at a time. The small tasks we complete give the community better spaces to come together, making for a big impact.

2021 Recap: The beginning of a tradition

On September 25, 2021 in the small municipality of Sainte-Rose-du-Nord in the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region (population: 439), the P’tit Québec team of volunteers got right to work on the first P’tits Projets pas si P’tits destination. Throughout the day, the team completed several important projects including:

  • Installation of a protective railing along a scenic walk
  • Installation of a new bike rack
  • Repainting the playgrounds fence and picnic tables
  • Replenishing the sand in the sandbox
  • Replacing a popular sitting bench
  • Replacing the local school’s baseball benches
  • Donated to the local senior citizen’s residence
  • Donated school supplies to the Sainte-Rose Elementary School
  • Over $25,000 combined in donations, equipment, and labour
  • Hosting a community lunch (serving over 180 grilled cheese sandwiches!)

We praise your participation. The whole village benefits from your contribution. Thank you P'tit Québec!

Mayor from 2005 - 2021
