Carrefour communautaire Beausoleil

What Carrefour communautaire Beausoleil does

Carrefour communautaire Beausoleil (CCB) is a Canadian non-profit community organization incorporated under the legal name "Carrefour communautaire Beausoleil Inc." and domiciled in New Brunswick. Founded in 1986 to serve Acadian and Francophone communities of the Miramichi region, it celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2026. Its stated mission is to promote the development and influence ("rayonnement") of Acadian and Francophone communities in Miramichi, and the name "Beausoleil" honors Joseph Broussard, a hero of Acadian resistance during the Great Upheaval.

The CCB operates an integrated multi-service community hub from a single facility at 300 chemin Beaverbrook Rd, Miramichi. Its core service lines are: (i) Garderie Francomichi, a licensed (agréé) childcare and early childhood education program serving children aged 15 months to 12 years, open weekdays 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; (ii) Location de Salles, venue rentals anchored by Théâtre Gilles Laplante (400 capacity, 346 assigned seats, 4 wheelchair spaces, 5,580 sq ft) plus cafeteria, gymnasium, art gallery, and council hall; (iii) Services alimentaires and Café Frikot, including on-site café, school cafeteria catering (to École Carrefour Beausoleil), and event catering; (iv) Galerie ARTcadienne, an art gallery showcasing Acadian and Indigenous works through rotating exhibitions; (v) Bibliothèque, a Francophone community library; (vi) Le Réveil de Miramichi, a free monthly community newspaper published continuously since 1986 (Issue 237 as of July/August 2026); and (vii) cultural programming, including a season of live concerts, comedy, theatre, and dance performances ticketed via an online platform (TuxedoBillet) and at reception. There is no proprietary technology product; the digital stack is limited to a Squarespace website, an email newsletter, and the third-party ticketing platform.

The business model is a hybrid of earned revenue streams (transaction-fee room and venue rentals, recurring childcare fees, transactional café and catering sales, ticket sales priced between $15 and $50 per person, and a Forfait culturel season subscription priced at $90 for four shows or $45 for ages 55+) combined with implicit government funding, donations, and grants typical of a registered non-profit. Customer segments span Acadian and Francophone families (childcare), event organizers and community groups (venue rental and catering), theatre and cultural performance attendees, and the broader Francophone community of greater Miramichi. The organization is governed by a 2026-2027 Board of Directors led by President Aline Allain-Doiron and Vice-President Patrick Sinzinkayo, with operational leadership under General Director Line Thibodeau and Deputy Director Julie Michaud, supported by approximately 23 staff across operations, culinary, early childhood education, finance, communications, and programming functions.
