To bring the people of Delson together again, P’tit Québec has transformed their church basement into a P’tit lounge
In towns and villages across Quebec, church basements have long been where communities come together. They were commonly used for potluck dinners, community meetings, fundraisers, bingo nights, and more. However, small towns now struggle to maintain or repurpose community spaces, leaving residents without adequate places to gather for social events. In 2024, these gathering venues no longer exude the same vibrant energy they once did.
Delson is no exception. The city needed a welcoming space to better serve its community. Delson’s churc has been repurposed into a performance hall upstairs, but it’s basement lacked warmth and appeal. Delson residents deserved a better venue to gather, and P’tit Québec stepped in to answer that call.
For over 60 years, P’tit Québec has been gathering Quebec families around delicious home-cooked meals. Bringing people together is at the heart of the company’s values, and P’tit Québec made it its mission to unite communities across the province, one initiative at a time.
