P'tit Quebec

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.

- Welcome to Sainte-Edwidge -

In small towns across Québec, many small projects go unfinished because of 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.

2023: Sainte-Edwidge

In 2023, the P’tit Quebec team travelled to the small town of Sainte-Edwidge, located within Coaticook Regional County (population: 484) for the third annual P’tits Projets pas si P’tits. Just like the previous projects, this year we were determined to make a meaningful impact for the community and its residents. Here is the impact we made:

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Created a functional outdoor learning centre with new whiteboards, dry erase markers and other classroom supplies
Refreshed the school’s outdoor space with a new basketball court, a bike rack and a ‘take one leave one’ library box

POOL HOUSE

Painted the pool house, an important community gathering space used during the summer months
Installed hooks for hanging towels and personal belongings
Added storage boxes full of new pool toys and floaties

RESTAURANT

Made improvements to the only restaurant in town that serves as the heart of the community by:
Installing signage that the restaurant lacked funding for
Painting and installing more seating for guests
Partnering up to host a big community gathering, serving residents with delicious P’tit Quebec cheese

COMMUNITY WALKING PATH

Installed lights as an added safety measure for a highly trafficked walking path
Built an archway to mark the path’s slightly hidden entrance
Added a bench and a dog waste station
