As a resident of Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, I think having regular access to food so that I can remain nourished and alive, is a fairly reasonable request. It’s a necessity for the 5000+ people who live here

Getting groceries is now harder. And McGill makes it a habit to leave out the students in the MacDonald campus. It would benefit every student. As a possible solution. McGill should open up a groceries store in Sainte Anne. Locals from Sainte Anne, students of John Abbott and MacDonald McGill would benefit from it. And McGill would get good PR for providing residents of Sainte Anne a place to shop for groceries.

We need food! Online food delivery is not reliable especially in adverse weather conditions

Initially I didn’t think the closing of the Marche Richelieu would affect me but I noticed my stress levels have increased in the past few days trying to figure out how I am going to provision for food on days I am busy with assignments. Although online ordering is available, it is not a feasible option for a student when delivery costs are $5-9 each delivery. I also am not able to participate in the bus provided by McGill as I have time conflicts with my courses. This has added unnecessary stress into my life. It is absolutely ridiculous that students living near and attended a prestigious university have to live in a good desert! This was definitely not what I expected when I decided to pursue my Masters at McGill.

Provigo on Morgan is closing for three months for renovations-not permanently, according to the staff. This does not diminish the concern about having a food desert in Ste Anne and the challenges that its residents face.

This is absurd. It is a testament to how much students care about issues like food insecurity, that they would come all the way to mac to study it when there are barriers like this.

For a campus that talks so much about food security, isn't it ironic if the community in which it is situated is food insecure?

Although I'm not a resident of St-Anne, I find this situation unacceptable for the local residents (especially people who don't own cars, elderly, students, etc.). Being able to shop locally via walking is very important considering climate change impacts and people shouldn't be losing this option, but instead be gaining more local options...

I would add to this, that in addition to the MAC, and JAC students, the permanent Ste-Anne de Bellevue population is also affected by this problem
