Club des Petits Dejeuners
Club des Petits Dejeuners from Montreal, an organization that provides breakfast food for many schools throughout Quebec has chosen Ikusik and Pigiurvik Schools in Salluit to become a part of their team. The organization provides nutricious foods such as fresh fruit, fresh whole wheat bread and cereals, fruit cups, and orange juice just to name a few. This food is flown to Salluit by cargo plane every week.
Le Club des petits déjeuners du Québec a ouvert ses portes en 1994 à l’école primaire Lionel-Groulx, située dans un quartier défavorisé de Longueuil. Son fondateur, Daniel Germain, désirait offrir à tous les enfants la possibilité de prendre un petit déjeuner nutritif avant d’aller en classe. L’expérience a produit de si bons résultats sur le rendement scolaire des enfants que, bientôt, d’autres écoles ont frappé à la porte du Club des petits déjeuners du Québec.

The Ikusik Breakfast Club currently provides a hot and cold breakfast for approximately 100 students from both Ikusik and Pigiurvik Schools. Our motto is ``all are welcomed``, we do not turn away anyone. There is a great need for this program in Salluit.
Our weekday menu consists of multi grain Cheerios, corn bran cereal, whole wheat toast, fresh orange juice, chocolate milk and milk, a variety of nutricious yogurts, cheeses, fruit cups, eggos, fresh fruit such as bananas, apples and oranges, pancakes, grilled cheese sandwiches and we try and offer sausages and eggs on some Fridays.
Kids Love to Cook
Because of the generous funding provided by Qaqqaik Landholding Corporation, teachers are encouraged to purchase food from the local Co op store and engage their students in cooking classes. These cooking classes provide students with valuable skills and also allows them to eat what they make.
Our Volunteers
We could not run this program if we did not have the help and support of our wonderful volunteers who offer their time every moring to help out in the kitchen. I would like to personally thank Andre Maisonneuve, Julie Gervais, Valerie Ducharme, Roger El Riyachy, Carol Chasse, Matt Cameron, Mary Kaitinak, Monique Chretien, Tanya Hynes, Carmen Delapeta and our principal, Stephan Doyon and the IPL students for making this project work.
