A dream in the works
The site of the future L’Arche Café at 119 Regent Ave. is undergoing major renovations. Plumbing and ventilation upgrades are completed, and electrical contractors started their upgrades on October 31st, which is the final step before putting up the wall divisions and moving the Cafe furniture and equipment in. When an official opening date is known, it will be announced here.
With fair trade coffee & tea, nutritious & international food and delicious desserts, L’Arche Café aims to create a welcoming atmosphere in order to:
- - enable the public to interact with and get to know people with a developmental disability, who often remain socially isolated.
- - provide people with a developmental disability with meaningful employment.
- - celebrate the gifts of all those around us, including people with a disability.
