Montreal study shows 10 per cent of homeless are Aboriginal, half of those Inuit
MONTREAL—The Arctic char was out on trays on the counter, while Chantale Verreault poured out flour for the bannock with the help of one of her clients.
The weekly Inuit collective kitchen at Montreal’s Chez Doris women’s shelter, a special community event held each Friday, followed a reading and writing workshop May 12 as well as a clothing drive.
Two other women sat at the table, waiting for others to arrive. On a typical Friday, between seven and 20 women come to share this Inuit meal at the day centre.
Last week was the first opportunity for Verreault to attend those various events.
