2021 Neighbourhood Market Report & Recommendations

Our priorities

Food Security

Access to fresh and affordable food is limited. The southern West Island can be considered a food desert, meaning that very few residents live within a 500 meter radius of amenities that offer fresh fruits and vegetables.

Housing

Very little affordable and adequate rental housing can be found in the southern West Island and there are many obstacles to the local development of more affordable housing.

Poverty Reduction & Social Inclusion

In general, the population of the southern West Island is considered well-off from a socioeconomic point of view. But at the same time, hidden poverty exists in concentrated pockets across the region.

Health & Social Services

With only 58 doctors per 100,000 inhabitants compared to 85 per 100,000 in Montreal, accessibility to first line health services is a constant challenge in the West Island. Specialized services are also lacking.

Transportation

Traveling within the West Island and into Montreal almost always involves spending a long time in public transportation or being stuck in traffic. Active transportation options are also limited.

“Give people good information and effective tools and they will work together to create the kind of communities they want.”

Current projects

Pointe-Claire Project

The Pointe-Claire Project is a pilot project that aims to improve access, both physically and economically, to fresh fruits and vegetables in the West Island. The city of Pointe-Claire, and more specifically the residents who live in the heart of the city, are the focus of this project. The project is funded by the Direction Régionale de Santé Publique (DRSP).

Learn more about the project’s Neighbourhood Market.

Community Housing Toolbox

Together for a more inclusive southern West Island

Housing for All

Through Housing for All, will address the systemic barriers that limit the development of community housing, also known as the six conditions of systems change. We will accomplish this by adopting a local housing project that is currently in development as a lens through which to tackle these barriers. This will have a positive impact on the feasibility of the chosen project, as well as on other future projects. Learn more.

J'ai eu beaucoup de plaisir à passer par le marché de quartier de Pointe-Claire cette semaine, un projet de la Table de Quartier Sud de l'Ouest de l'Île et Corbeille de pain . Beaucoup de produits frais disponibles à des prix abordables et extrêmement accessibles à tous ceux qui souhaitent y aller. Ce projet est en cours jusqu'au 12 octobre, alors allez y faire un tour si possible !

I had a great time passing by the Neighbourhood Market in Pointe-Claire this week, a project by the Table de Quartier Sud de l’Ouest-de-l’Île and Corbeille de pain. So much fresh produce available at affordable prices and extremely accessible to everyone who wishes to visit. This project is ongoing until October 12th, so go check it out if you can!

Merci à nos élus d'avoir assisté au Marché de quartier hier ! Les employés de Corbeille de pain et de TQSOI ont travaillé très fort toute l'année pour réaliser une nouvelle année de notre marché solidaire. Nous ne pourrions pas non plus le faire sans nos merveilleux bénévoles.

Tous sont invités à venir à ce marché public. Au marché, tous les prix sont suggérés. Cela signifie que les clients qui doivent payer un peu moins peuvent le faire, et que ceux qui souhaitent payer plus peuvent arrondir leur facture à la hausse. Les clients qui paient plus que le prix suggéré aident à soutenir leurs voisins, un bel exemple de solidarité.

Nous aimerions voir plus de marchés solidaires dans l'Ouest-de-l'Île et nous espérons que c'est un projet que la Ville de Pointe-Claire peut aider à soutenir !

Restez au courant de tout ce qui concerne le marché en consultant notre événement Facebook: https://bit.ly/3HTryBL

Thank you some of our elected officials for attending the Neighbourhood Market/Marché de quartier yesterday! Both Corbeille de pain and TQSOI employees have worked very hard all year to put together another year of our joint solidarity market. We also couldn’t do it without our fantastic volunteers.

All are invited to come to this public market. At the market, all prices are suggested. This means shoppers who need to pay a bit less, can, and those that would like to pay more, can round up their bill. Shoppers who pay more than the suggested price help support their neighbours, a great display of solidarity.

We would love to see more solidarity markets in the West Island and hope that that is a project that the City of Pointe-Claire can help support!
