A well-established regional twist<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

JOLIETTE, February 12, 2018 -<\/strong> The \u00c9cole h\u00f4teli\u00e8re de Lanaudi\u00e8re and the Conseil de d\u00e9veloppement bioalimentaire de Lanaudi\u00e8re (CDBL) have once again joined forces to raise the profile of the region's agri-food businesses. The \u00c9mergence project was also launched with the support of the Association foresti\u00e8re de Lanaudi\u00e8re, the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 d'aide au d\u00e9veloppement de la collectivit\u00e9 (SADC) Matawinie and the financial contribution of the Minist\u00e8re de l'Agriculture, des P\u00eacheries et l'Alimentation du Qu\u00e9bec (MAPAQ), via its proximity program.<\/p>\n

This project had four main objectives: to easily locate Lanaudi\u00e8re food processing companies, to replace 20 products from outside the region with local products, to introduce teachers and students to non-timber forest products and emerging company cultures, and finally to increase the visibility of regional products among the general public.
\nFor several years now, the \u00c9cole h\u00f4teli\u00e8re de Lanaudi\u00e8re has been contributing to local development by selecting Lanaudi\u00e8re products in the preparation and presentation of its gastronomic menus in the school dining room. Once again, thanks to the contribution of local producers and processors, the \u00c9cole h\u00f4teli\u00e8re de Lanaudi\u00e8re, with the support of the CDBL, the Association foresti\u00e8re de Lanaudi\u00e8re and the SADC Matawinie, has decided to integrate the discovery and introduction of non-timber forest products into its training offer.<\/p>\n

Our forests are teeming with products just waiting to be discovered. Think wild berries and mushrooms, woodland and Labrador teas, northern nuts and edible plants, to name but a few. This shift represents, and will continue to represent in the years to come, a considerable asset for our DVS students in contemporary cuisine, food service, butchery and patisserie, our future ambassadors once on the job market.<\/p>\n

Specifically, the \u00c9mergence project involves skills acquisition and transfer, and product exploration, testing and comparison. According to St\u00e9phane Toustou, Assistant Director of the \u00c9cole h\u00f4teli\u00e8re, \"this project enhances our training, since students benefit from educational visits to various local producers, participation in the grand tabl\u00e9e organized by the CDBL, and workshops on cheeses, foie gras and the creation of artisanal charcuterie. All these activities enable us to diversify our students' learning and replace parts of the skills with concrete activities\".<\/p>\n

For businesses, this project also represents a gain in the growth of their customer base. Since September 2017, the boutique-school has been offering additional visibility to Lanaudi\u00e8re producers and processors by adding a different promotional kiosk every week. This is a great opportunity for hotel school customers to discover new products and taste them. To date, most of the companies have benefited from this experience, which has been extremely positive in terms of customer growth.<\/p>\n

Since 2001, the Centre multiservice des Samares has been offering general adult education, vocational training, distance learning and business and community services in a variety of sectors (administration, commerce and IT, food and tourism, mechanical manufacturing, health, beauty care, metallurgy, motorized equipment maintenance, transportation, public works buildings). More than 5,000 students are trained each year at our 13 training centers across the Lanaudi\u00e8re region, by experienced and passionate teachers.
\nThe Conseil de d\u00e9veloppement bioalimentaire de Lanaudi\u00e8re (CDBL) is a non-profit organization that develops and energizes the Lanaudi\u00e8re biofood sector through structuring projects and weaving business links between stakeholders.<\/p>\n

Active since 1991, the CDBL is recognized as the region's \"Table de concertation agroalimentaire\".<\/p>\n
