Order Chez Angela Bakery and Café today and support local youth connected to GAP Youth Outreach!

Thank you James, Angie, and the team for consistently creating small ways to take good care of community! So much appreciation!

We are open from 7am-8pm on Louis Riel Day, and a portion of today's proceeds will be going to support youth in our community through programming at GAP Youth Outreach.

5 dollars from every Family Pizza combo sold (2 pizzas and a Caesar Salad)
1 dollar from every lunch combo sold
1 dollar from every pizza and U-bake pizza sold
50 cents from every pastry and latte sold

We’re open on this day because we believe places like ours are part of what keeps a community stitched together. Louis Riel Day is about people, history, and looking after one another, and connecting with and understanding our shared history.

For us that means unlocking the doors, feeding our neighbours, and turning a regular day of service into something that gives back.

If you’re out and about, come in, have a bite, and know that your lunch or coffee is helping support youth programming right here at home.

is back from holiday break and we'd like to start the new year with gratitude!

Gakina Abinoojiiyag < GAP > Progam is a community-based youth homelessness prevention program. Our primary goal is to help local young people establish a solid foundation (ID, income, housing & life skills) so they may remain in or return to school, and ultimately move forward with their lives in a safe and planned way! 🫶🏽 We could not do this without the support of community!

Miigwetch, thank you to for supporting one local students steps toward a future of their own design! Their sponsorship to cover tuition fees with a little extra for school supplies was so deeply appreciated and a beautiful gift to a young person whose worked very hard to move forward with their education goals! Made for very happy holidays!
