On December 7, 2024, the MNA invited the public to the Ferme Jeunes au Travail Christmas market, at 2595 rang du Haut-Saint-François. The market was open that day and the next, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. It offered everything needed to prepare holiday meals, as well as gift items.

Ferme Jeunes au Travail is a community organization. It helps young Laval residents build their skills through farming, eco-friendly woodworking and customer service. Its mission is to help young people aged 16 to 35 enter the job market or go back to school.

One of eastern Laval’s Christmas markets

This market was one of the eastern Laval Christmas markets, held from November 23 to December 15, 2024. Other venues took part, including APARL, the Cercle de fermières St-François, Bonjour Aujourd’hui et Après and the Centre de la nature in Laval.

“I had the pleasure of picking up my order of their delicious tourtières!”

Virginie Dufour, MNA for Mille-Îles

In 2026, the organization took the name Obliques, without changing its mission. Each year, it supports some forty young Laval residents. To learn more: jeunesautravail.ca.
