Outaouais tourism business obtains $250,000 in financial assistance from CED to increase its accommodations.
Val-des-Monts – Supporting tourism businesses contributes to economic development in Quebec’s regions. That is why Sophie Chatel, Member of Parliament for Pontiac, today announced, on behalf of the Honourable Soraya Martinez Ferrada, Minister of Tourism and Minister responsible for CED, a repayable contribution of $250 000 for HOM Mini Chalets Inc., an SME led by Dominique Laflamme and Martin Poitras. These two entrepreneurs are recognized for their contribution to local economic growth by attracting tourists seeking luxury, eco‑friendly accommodations in the heart of nature. This CED support will enable the business to develop its tourism offering.
HOM Mini Chalets offers outdoor hotel services. On a 105‑acre site, its eight mini cottages on piles provide visitors with the opportunity to stay in treetops and benefit from an exceptional view of Lake McGregor. The business focuses on integrating harmoniously and respectfully into its environment. To meet the growing demand, it wishes to expand its hosting capacity. CED’s contribution will focus on the construction of four mini cottages that will include thermal relaxation facilities such as spas, saunas, hammam showers and cold showers.
The Government of Canada recognizes and supports businesses and organizations that are a source of pride in their communities. Quebec’s economic growth relies on organizations with strong roots in the regional economy; they are key assets in building a sustainable, inclusive economy.
