SUPPORT ATSA

Atsa launches its 2020 fundraising drive for Cuisine ton Quartier and Meet your city world wide ! We invite you to support us in this new adventure ! What will your donation help us achieve in 2020 ? CUISINE TON QUARTIER : a tour version of Cuisine ta ville deployed in 8 Montreal boroughs, is designed so Montrealers can better know the refugees and immigrants in the city’s different neighbourhoods. CUISINE TA VILLE GOES INTERNATIONAL ! In September 2019, Annie Roy visited Hull, UK to explore the possibility of producing an edition of Cuisine ta ville for the city’s Freedom Festival. LE TEMPS D'UNE SOUPE is branching out both in Québec and abroad. For all these worthwhile reasons : make your donation !

YMCA Peace Medals

ATSA receives a YMCA Peace Medal for Cuisine ta ville ! Things got emotional when ATSA was awarded a YMCA Peace Medal (Organization for Peace category) for Cuisine ta ville 2019, in the presence of such illustrious peace ambassadors as Yvon Deschamps and Judi Richards ! This award cannot come at a better time, given the current context, as Cuisine ta ville is a testament not only to ATSA’s resilience, but also to that of all those who leave behind their country of origin, in often difficult conditions, to build new lives for themselves elsewhere. We believe that as a host society, it is our duty to honour these new arrivals in the heart of the city, and to welcome them with open arms. THANK YOU to the YMCA for its commitment and its action and CONGRATULATIONS to all the winners !
