The Government of Canada is granting a total of up to $1,077,100 in financial assistance to Fromagerie L'Ancêtre, a business with environmentally friendly production methods that manufactures several varieties of organic cheeses and butters.
The Minister of Tourism and Minister responsible for CED, the Honourable Soraya Martinez Ferrada, took the opportunity during a visit today to Fromagerie L'Ancêtre's new packaging, ripening, and ageing plant in Trois-Rivières to announce the Government of Canada contributions on her own behalf and on behalf of the Honourable Lawrence MacAulay, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food. She was accompanied by André Lamontagne, Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food of Quebec and Minister Responsible for the Centre-du-Québec Region.
This support will enable Fromagerie L'Ancêtre to acquire cutting-edge ripening, cutting, and packaging facilities and new packaging equipment to improve the quality of its products, reduce the use of plastic film, have access to ecofriendly packaging, and become more energy efficient in its ageing process. Thanks to these investments, the business will be able to increase its productivity, reduce its production costs, and stimulate its growth.
