It started with eleven sandwiches. In 1995, two waiters from Café Santropol had a hunch that food could bridge the distance between generations, and what began as a scrappy meals-on-wheels operation out of a Duluth Street apartment has since grown into one of Montreal's most quietly radical community institutions. The Roulant—now anchored at 111 Roy Est in the Plateau—runs rooftop gardens, a working farm in Senneville, a vermicomposting program, and a beekeeping collective alongside its core meal delivery service, all knitted together by the belief that a warm meal and a friendly face are equally nutritious. Youth volunteers deliver to isolated seniors; seniors pass down recipes; the whole thing loops back into itself like a very well-tended garden. Three decades in, it still feels less like a nonprofit and more like a neighbourhood that decided to feed itself.
