Over the past weeks, the CDEC has granted a total of $142,000 in the scope of the Young Promoters Measure to a dozen businesses comprised of 18 young promoters, leading to the creation of 30 jobs in our area.

These businesses are a reflection of the borough, being original, audacious and firmly rooted in our districts. Melons et Clémentines on Sherbrooke Street West provides lactation services to new parents, while Emeline & Anabelle on Monkland Avenue provide a space for DIY-ers to sew or to learn how. Others provide services to both individuals and businesses, such as Nettoyeurs Express, Cartouche Média, Bookeeper or Nick the Barber. Some have launched audacious initiatives, such as Toccata Live, which will offer music courses online, and Eco Passport, which promotes environmentally friendly merchandise. My Antidote takes an original approach, selling certified organic beauty and food products both online and in their shop on Sherbrooke Street West.

High-fashion designer accessories have not been left out, with Anastasia Radevich, who has her own line of distinctive footwear, and LXR 2nd Hand Luxury Products on Queen Mary Road, which specializes in the purchase and sale of accessories by designers such as Louis Vuitton or Hermès.
