Microbrasserie 3 Lacs continues its commitment

Microbrasserie 3 Lacs is continuing its commitment to a regional cause.

An initiative born out of the COVID-19 pandemic, Microbrasserie 3 Lacs is continuing its commitment to the community three years later. It was early on Tuesday, July 11 that the co-owner of the company located in Vaudreuil-Dorion donated $800 to the Vaudreuil-Soulanges Hospital Foundation.

The president of the organization's board of directors, Denis Lapointe, accepted the donation. ” It is a nice gesture that is well appreciated. For the moment, we have not yet started soliciting donations from the population. It is planned to start in 2024, because even today, despite the presence of cranes on the construction site, people are skeptical about the realization of the project”, Recounts Mr. Lapointe.

Last year, the Microbrasserie also donated $800 in 2021 to the cause, then $750 for its first donation in 2020.

The donation from Microbrasserie 3 Lacs will be reinvested in the purchase of equipment and medications for CHSLDs and patients receiving home care in Vaudreuil-Soulanges. ” Last year, thanks to donations like this one, we were able to invest $122,000 in the purchase of equipment for health institutions located in the MRC. Animal therapy and music services can also be financed at CHSLDs Laurent-Bergevin and that of Coteau-du-Lac. It is difficult nowadays for CHSDLs to start a foundation. You need people who want to get involved.” he adds.

Unless there are exceptional situations, the Foundation does not buy equipment for patients who are not in CHSLD. ” Last year we did it for a lady. When he died, the wheelchair we bought for him was returned to a CHSLD for another use..”

Give back to the next

For Ms. Dumais and her spouse Michel Chen, co-owners of Microbrasserie 3 Lacs, it was only natural to give back to the community. To do this, in 2020, he created beer Your season containing 5.6% alcohol and decided to donate the profits from its sale to the regional cause.

“We are based in Vaudreuil-Dorion and are citizens of Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot. We wanted to do our part for our community and the idea was born in 2020 and continues three years later. We are also fervent participants in the Vaudreuil-Soulanges Wine Show, the main event that aims to raise funds for the Foundation,” explains Sylvie-Anne Dumais, co-owner of the company located in the industrial park of Vaudreuil-Dorion.

A small touch of sweetness in the mouth

With its golden color, Méga-S beerHouse has been able to please sweet tooths since its taste refers to bananas, honey and citrus fruits. ” It is a Belgian cold-hopped season that is distributed in 160 cans of only 473 milliliters, so it was available in limited quantities. All profits generated from the sale are donated to the Foundation”, she confides.

After being made, the beer is available in IGA, Provigo, Metro supermarkets and convenience stores in the region.

The partnership between the company and the organization should continue in 2024.
